CHAPTER VIII BARRED FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY EACH day brought more peace to the hearts of the people of Weichuang. From the news that was brought to them, they understood that although the Revolutionists had entered the city, there was no great change in the tenor of things. The Chih-hsien-ta-lao-yeh still remained the same official, the name of the office having merely been changed to “such and such” an office. Moreover, Chü-jen Lao-yeh had become some sort of official. The Weichuangites…-

VII. The Revolution
CHAPTER VII THE REVOLUTION ON the fourteenth day of the ninth moon of the third year of the emperor Hsüan T‘ung—on the same day that Ah Q had sold Chao Pai-yen the purse—after three strokes of the watchman’s drum, a large dark-sailed ship reached the Chao household’s landing place. Through the inky darkness, while the villagers slumbered and knew nothing, this boat came rowing in. Dawn had almost arrived when it left; and so few people saw it. But stealthy investigation resulted in the…-

VI. His Rise and Fall
CHAPTER VI HIS RISE AND FALL THE next time Weichuang saw Ah Q, it was just past the midautumn of the year. On speaking of Ah Q’s return, the people were astonished and would review the past, saying, “Where has he been heretofore?” When about to go to the city on former occasions Ah Q had enthusiastically told others about it, but it was not so on this occasion; therefore, no one had paid any attention to his going. He may have informed the old man who took charge, of T‘uku Temple, but…-

V. Problems of Livelihood
CHAPTER V PROBLEMS OF LIVELIHOOD AFTER Ah Q had bowed, he returned to T‘uku Temple. The sun was sinking low, when by degrees he came to the realization that there was something strange about the world. On thinking over the matter carefully, he finally realized that the reason was his own bare shoulders. Recalling that he still had his tattered lined coat, he threw it over his body and lay down. When he opened his eyes, the sun had already gilded the top of the west wall; he sat up, muttering…-

Tomorrow
"No sound, what's happened to the little one?" Old Arch, with the red nose, held a bowl of yellow wine and nodded towards the next room as he spoke. Blue-skin Ah Wu then put down his wine bowl and gave him a hard slap on the back, mumbling: "You... you're lost in thought again..." Lu Town, a secluded place, still held onto some of its old customs: by the first watch, everyone would close their doors and retire for the night. The only two households awake in the deep of the night were the Xianheng…-

THE TRUE STORY OF AH Q
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION For several years now I have been meaning to write the true story of Ah Q. But while wanting to write I was in some trepidation, too, which goes to show that I am not one of those who achieve glory by writing; for an immortal pen has always been required to record the deeds of an immortal man, the man becoming known to posterity through the writing and the writing known to posterity through the man--until finally it is not clear who is making whom known. But in the end, as…-

The Story of Hair
On a serene Sunday morning, I peeled away the calendar's worn page to reveal the fresh date, and upon a second glance, I mused, "Ah, October 10th—why, today is National Day. Yet, there's no trace of its mention here." As fate would have it, my elder acquaintance, Mr. N, was paying me a visit for a casual chat. Upon hearing my observation, he responded with a tinge of irritation, "They're correct! If they choose to forget, what can you do? And if you remember, what does it change?" Mr. N has…-
