After Luo got over his malaria, the two characters went to visit their friend
Four-Eyes. The first thing mentioned about him was his possession of a
secret suitcase. The village where he was being re-educated was lower than that of Luo's and the narrator's, but he was in the same
situation as they were - both of his parents had been disgraced by the authorities. When the characters met him for a second time, his glasses had just been broken by a buffalo and he was
helpless as he ferried hods with sixty kilos of rice up and down the mountain in the snow. Luo and the narrator offered to help him, but at first Four-Eyes was unyielding, and later broke down and offered them one of his forbidden books in return." The author's name was
Blazac." (55)
