Brought up only by his emotionally detached step-grandmother, our antihero is logically also emotionally detached. Much like Holden from The Catcher in the Rye, he holds the purity of children sacred and loses it when that image is shattered in reality. When our narrator accuses him of cocooning himself up from a world he chooses to see as antagonistic, the existential significance of his reply is perhaps on par with Holden's famous "Where do the ducks go in the winter?", that is, "Where does the silk come from though?"
But he's not a teenager like Holden. He cannot afford to wander around anymore contemplating about his future while having two pocketfuls of money in his pants. He's an adult not ready who's fired from his job and resorts to asking our narrator for a job recommendation, a huge blow to his ego. He makes it on his own afterwards, but only for the sake of making it so that he would not be looked down upon by everyone anymore. Strained by this unhealthy mentality and lifestyle, he succumbs to it and dies alone, without any closed ones to see him off.
On the surface, the scenes are too simply set with elementary funereal atmospherics. The antihero's character development also feels superficial and incomplete, despite some penetrating writing. But when one comes into awareness of the fact that the author has admitted to his friend Feng Hu that he was in fact writing about himself, and from the negative way he portrays our antihero's victim-playing friends, it is just possible that Lu Xun wrote this short novella which could be finished in less than an hour with an intentional hasty retreat.
