This chapter opens with a description of a primary school teacher. The teacher, named Qianxi, is described as a "whoosh primary school" teacher who is "very amiable" and "admirably liked" by his students. When the teacher enters the classroom, he is greeted by the teacher's younger sister, Miss Zimo. The younger Zimo is terrified of the teacher because the teacher is known for his "fourth story composition book" , a collection of stories that he has collected from his younger sister. The older Zimo tries to find the book, but the teacher does not allow her to search for the book. When he does, he finds the book in the school's office, but he is unable to find it. He is afraid that the teacher will not speak to him because he is a "brat" . The other teacher enters, and the teacher tells him that he is the new employee of the school and that he should come to his class for the art class.
