Several questions about Kong Yiji.

The introduction of Xianheng Hotel at the beginning of the novel explains the social environment in which Kong Yiji lives, exaggerates two distinct social groups, namely "short-sleeved gang" and "long-sleeved gang", and shows serious class opposition and cold relationship between people. Such a snobbish, cold and hypocritical social environment renders a cold and sad social atmosphere for us, which lays the foundation for the development of the plot and indicates the inevitability of the tragedy of the characters. Xianheng Hotel can be said to be the epitome of the dark semi-feudal and semi-colonial society in China at that time.

The article is about the laughter of people everywhere.

They didn't realize that they were at the bottom of society, insensitive, selfish and cold like Kong Yiji. They have no sympathy or help for such an unfortunate person as Kong Yiji. On the contrary, they only know how to laugh for fun and seek a moment of happiness in a tired and depressed life.

Everyone's laughter runs through Kong Yiji's story, which sets off and strengthens the tragic effect of the novel, making Kong Yiji's tragedy more suffocating and sad, and writing about sadness with joy is more sad. It shows that Kong Yiji's tragedy is not a personal tragedy but a social tragedy, and the anti-feudal significance of his works is more profound.

) Kong Yiji went to the hotel not only to find a drink, but also to anesthetize the pain hidden in his soul. He may have another wish:

(1) Only by standing in the social group of "Short Coat Gang" can he show his identity as a scholar, and he wants to seek people's affirmation and recognition of his social status as a scholar here, so as to soothe his sadness caused by falling out of the list;

(2) "not defaulting on drinks" means that he wants to seek people's recognition of his character in the small society of hotels;

(3) "Teaching a boy to read" requires people to acknowledge his knowledge;

(4) Kong Yiji was mercilessly laughed at in other hotels, and only among the children can he seek a little warmth;

Every time he uses an excuse to cover up his misdeeds, it is also to seek the self-esteem of a scholar.

It is not easy for this article to describe Kong Yiji's life in a short space, but observing the world around him from the perspective of a little buddy "I" is not only convenient to describe, but also objective, true and credible. Even a 12-year-old boy despises Kong Yiji, which shows that this society is indifferent to the unfortunate people and is conducive to expressing an atmosphere of sadness and joy. In addition, this boy is wet behind the ears, not as cold as the shopkeeper, expressing sympathy for Kong Yiji.
