② Why is "laughter" an important means of characterization in Kong Yiji?

Laughter makes the characters vivid, rich and moving. The shopkeeper's "smile" hides the knife in his smile, which reflects the ruthlessness of feudal society. The shopkeeper is talking and laughing on the surface, but he is insidious and vicious. A few "smiles" created a ruthless profiteer image. Everyone's "laughter" is cynical, reflecting the indifference between people at that time. They insulted innocent Kong Yiji for short-term happiness. Even as Kong Yiji lay dying, they laughed at the helpless Kong Yiji with the shopkeeper. They base their happiness on Kong Yiji's pain, heartless, selfish and insensitive. Dude's "smile" is as cold as ice, which shows my contempt and indifference to Kong Yiji. It's pitiful that men dare not be presumptuous in front of everyone, but they can discriminate, neglect and disrespect Kong Yiji, which shows that "I" is deeply poisoned by the feudal hierarchy and thinks that I am more noble than Kong Yiji. His several "smiles" left a snobbish and cold buddy image. Children's "laughter" is innocent, reflecting their curiosity and innocence. They laughed at Kong Yiji's words and deeds. Although they didn't mean well, they certainly didn't mean ill. These "smiles" have created a group of children with little experience and simple thoughts.

③ Why is "Laughter" a powerful foil to Kong Yiji's theme?

"Laughter" in Kong Yiji expresses the author's critical and sympathetic attitude towards Kong Yiji, as well as his critical attitude towards insensitive people. In the novel, only Kong Yiji was laughed at, and others, regardless of adults and children, rich and poor, laughed at Kong Yiji in various ways. These "smiles" are humiliation, bullying and discrimination against Kong Yiji, which contain the author's indignation and hide the author's sympathy for Kong Yiji.

"Laughter" in Kong Yiji expresses the author's attack on the feudal system and his denial of the feudal society. Kong Yiji's tragedy was entirely caused by feudal education and imperial examination system. He is "very tall" and has the original conditions for making a living, but he despises labor and is lazy, and finally becomes a "useless person who can't make a living". Kong Yiji's belief in "even people who are concerned" shows that he has been deeply poisoned and cannot extricate himself. This not only led to his fall, but also led to his destruction. It can be seen that Kong Yiji has been living in a society without warmth and human feelings. He is fed up with the shopkeeper's cold smile, everyone's cold smile, the waiter's cold smile, and the child's cold smile, but he can't see any enthusiasm. In this cold environment, Kong Yiji is pedantic but unconscious, conservative but not confident, numb but not fighting, but not a trace of heat. The whole society is in a state of numbness and cooling. What hope can such a society have? What other way out is there? What other reasons can there be?

④ Why is Laughter in sharp contrast with Kong Yiji's tragic fate?

Throughout the novel, Kong Yiji is always the object of jokes; He never smiled himself, only said the word "smile", which was a helpless plea to the shopkeeper "Stop joking". This "smile" was not Kong Yiji's smile at all, but contained Kong Yiji's bitterness, humiliation and grief! This "smile" shows Kong Yiji's obsession with immortality, and he wants to save his dignity when he dies! This "smile" created an image of a hesitant and pedantic bookworm.
