Question

The introduction to a work about this character speculates that this character’s other name might be “Moon Pavilion.” This character deems the words “bright” and “light” taboo because they remind him of his ringworm scars. After this (10[1])character pinches a nun in front of a crowd, she cries, “May you die sonless!” A shrine where this character is sleeping is ransacked by the successful county candidate and the Imitation Foreign Devil, who cut off his pigtail. This character only sings one line of an opera at his execution, which occurs after he fails to sign his confession with a perfect circle. After physically losing fights to characters like Mr. Zhao and Whiskers Wang, this character slaps himself and considers them “spiritual victories.” For 10 points, name this character (10[1])whose “True Story” titles a Lu Xun (“loo shoon”) novella. ■END■
