(10[1])After this (10[1])character pinches a nun in front of a crowd, she cries, “May you die sonless!” (10[1])A shrine where this character is sleeping is ransacked by the successful (10[1])county candidate and the Imitation Foreign Devil, who cut off his pigtail. This character (10[1])only sings (10[1])one line (10[1])of an opera (10[1])at his execution, which occurs after he fails to sign (-5[1])his confession (10[1])with a perfect circle. (10[2]-5[3])After (10[1])physically (10[1])losing fights (10[1])to characters (10[1])like Mr. (10[1])Zhao and Whiskers (-5[1])Wang, this character slaps himself and considers them “spiritual victories.” (10[2])For 10 points, name this character (10[1])whose “True Story” titles a Lu Xun (10[2])(“loo shoon”) novella.
