stances: Wang Chen began to wonder about
the outer regions. He was young man and
he had had twlnges of restlessness even before
the village changed. Now it seemed to him
that it was absolutely necessary for him to
live life different from his fathers and his
grandfather's and his great -grandfather's
ALL three of these elders were alive and
hearty. His father was the Mayor of the vii
lage, and his grandfather was the Elder, and
his great grandfather being the oldest man
IN the village, was the head of everything.
All of them lived together inside the earthen
walls which sheltered Wang Chen's particular
branch of the family
But Wang Chen made the mistake of con-
fidlng in his wife, Virtue, that he was bored
with his life. 1t came out of talking to her in
the night about the sweet stick which Great
Grandmother had swallowed
You see what interesting things are out
side our village" he said, staring into the
lowered canopy above the great bed in which
they lay. This stick of magic food has re
Juvenated our old ancient. She has new
strength and willfulness."

He closed his eyes - all thought him dead.
But suddenly he opened his eyes and strug-
gled to lift his head. With great effort he
raised himself on his hands. He fixed his
wavering eyes on Wang Chen. "Freer' he
gasped - Ito speak - to think you young
men,
Nobody had any knowledge of what he
meant. He pointed at Wang Chen, and then
before he could utter one more word, he fell

lifted him out of the dust His family screamed
at him to let the man lie until his own kin
came to fetch him. lest blame for his death

Wang Chen wavered - until Great Grand
mother pushed herself through a crack in the
crowd. Bring him into the court" she Or

Nobody knew The man had been sitting
in the teashop. dressed in ordinary clothes, as
anybody could see and suddenly there was
noise like big frecracker and blood came
out of his left breast.
Has anybody ever seen this man?" Great
Grandmother asked
NOBODY had seen him He was a traveller
among many travellers, except that he was
native of their own province. The proprietor
of the teashop said mournfully that he had
only just complimented him on this, when the
strange accident happened.
1t was Virtue who pointed at this moment
at another stranger, who held his hand behind
his back. She did not say word But while
all were watching the stranger die, she saw
this man smile. He, too, was Chinese, but
he was dressed in foreign clothes like white
such garments and it was not this that made
her notice him 1T was his cold and smiling
face.
All now looked at him. He kept on smiling
and tried to appear unmoved. But the fixed
stares of two hundred and more Wangs were
hard to endure He turned hot, although the
season was early autumn. Can you tell me
when the next plane arrives?" he asked in
loud voice. Nobody answered
He looked even more uncomfortable. There
was no way OF getting out of the Wang village
except by plane or on his own two feet

Virtue was terrified IF you ever 20 up

cry myself to DEATH" she declared.
Until this moment Wang Chen had not
thought actually of leaving home But now he
said to her sternly, you must not tie man

VIRTUE said no more; but the next morning
she reported the whole conversation to the
three elder generations. All of them shared
her terror. Wang Chen was the oldest of the
youngest generation, and all looked to him to
lead the family some day.
Great Grandmother however, opposed the
Others. Wang Chen, Our descendant is a
clever child" she declared. anyone under
forty she called child) why should we
lock him for life into this village between
earth and heaven? If he goes out, he may be-

honor to our village. We have never had a
great man here. Who has heard of our village?
All of you have eaten and slept and begotten
sons like yourselves - no more
She had not In all her ninety two years said
what she really felt about the Wang men
- the one she had married and the ones she
had borne and all were shocked. Virtue
saw wrath gathering in three generations of
men, and she made haste to speak Don't

is that foreign stuff in her belly that has
changed her."
The Others were struck with this wisdom,
and Great Grandfather spoke: ''If bit of
foreign stuff in the belly of an old woman
can make her even more willful than she was.
then certainly let us have no more of any
thing foreign. Tell Wang Chen that he cannot
leave the path we have made
you tell him, Great Grandfather, Virtue
said wisely. He will listen to you - but who
expects man to listen to his wife?"
lHREE days later Wang Chen was called
before his elders, and one after the other
spoke, first Great Grandfather, then Grand
father and Grandmother, and then his own
father and mother and uncles and aunts in
their generation. Only Great Grandmother
would not speak. She sat looking rebellious
and making secret signs to Wang Chen not
to yield When the elders spoke too long, she
had coughing fits until they stopped Virtue
stood in the door and saw everything, and felt
that Wang Chen was not listening because he
was laughing secretly at Great Grandmother
By some chance arranged by heaven, they
heard at this very moment commotion out
side the gates on the street that ran through
the village. Shouts and screams and the pad

laughed and strobe over to the man. To the
astonishment of all, the man turned and tried
to run away. Wang Chen seized him by the
neck with both hands, and the mans hands
flew up to save himself. Something fell out
of his pocket. an object as small as toy
Great Grandmother called out to Wang
Chen: Hold him.
WANG CHEN held him while Great Grand
mother skipped over and picked up the toy

what it was. Her finger pressed something,
and suddenly there was loud noise and

Wang Chen shook the stranger, who tried
