酒蒙子
Living in a small town in northeastern China, Wu was once head of the workshop of the town’s wool mill but lost this supposedly life-long job when the mill went bankrupt, and worked as a janitor in his nephew’s bar to make a living. With his wife gone and his son living elsewhere, Wu was gradually despised by people around him as he started drinking his days away.

An old leper who owned a remote sorghum winery dies. Jiu'er, the wife bought by the leper, and her lover, identified only as "my Grandpa" by the narrator, take over the winery and set up an idealized quasi-matriarchal community headed by Jiu'er. When the Japanese invaders subject the area to their rule and cut down the sorghum to make way for a road, the community rises up and resists as the sorghum grows anew.
