Characters in Chekhov's Fat Man and Thin Man

A picture shows a thin man with a thin wife and son squinting at the railway station to meet an old friend, Fat Man, whom I haven't seen for years. Hug and kiss each other warmly. The thin man took pains to introduce his family and personal situation. The atmosphere in the whole picture is cordial, warm and harmonious, and the colors are clear, beautiful and charming.

In another picture, the fat man said that he had been a third-class civil servant and had two stars. This surprised and embarrassed the thin man who had just become the section chief. After being very ashamed, I admired him, and flattery made the fat man sick. After several protests, I had to twist my head and stretch out my hand to say goodbye and leave under the respectful watch of the thin family. The atmosphere of the whole picture is tense, stiff and cold, which makes people feel gloomy, turbid and sultry.
