Summary "徬徨" by Xun Lu is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of existential despair and the human condition through its characters, primarily focusing on the protagonist's reflections on life and the societal changes surrounding him. The narrative delves into personal loss, familial obligations, and the search for meaning amidst confusion and traditional expectations. At the start of the tale, the protagonist returns to his hometown during the New Year celebrations, encountering both familiar faces and stark changes in the people he meets. He reflects on his past, the waning vitality of life around him, and a poignant encounter with a woman named 祥林嫂 (Xianglin Sao), who is now a beggar, highlighting the painful transitions and tragedies that have befallen her. As the protagonist grapples with feelings of unease and guilt, he becomes increasingly aware of the fragility of human existence and the complexities of interpersonal connections, setting the stage for deeper explorations of despair and hope in the narrative.
