>The short story ‘The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband’ by Fengi Ji-Cai focuses on community, power, status, judgement and persecution. This short story is based on the life of an inseparable couple that are persecuted and judged by people in their community. This attitude and judgement towards the couple is compared with the attitude from the country. The story is written by the neighbour’s point of view but not the couple’s point of view. This story is only written and spoken in a biased way and it is ironic that the couple do not speak, or give their view throughout the story.
