The story The Refugees deals with the sufferings of the people who had to seek shelter during the 1931 floods in the yangtse river.
The chinese farmers who were well-to-do became homeless and landless overnight owing to floods.Fate turned very cruel to them and made them starve.Everyday long lines of ragged men and women were making their way towards the city.They were sheltered in camps outside the city wall.They were fed and clothed somehow by the city people.Later the local people found it troublesome to have to feed the poor refugees.The refugees became rickshaw pullers and beggars.They were no common men and women.But their fate turned them into refugees.
An old man,last in the procession,was carrying a child and a cauldron in his basket.He walked with difficulty and was panting desperately. He was starved but unwilling to beg,while other refugees were begging and rickshaw pulling. The child had no food for long time. A kind man passed by them and gave him two coins-one silver and one copper.Infact the old man didnot beg him.He bought a small bowl of noodles with the copper penny and he fed his grand son with them.The old man told the vendor that he was his grandson and his parents drowned when the dikes broke.After feeding the child he handed the bowl back to the vendor.The vendor wondered why the hungry old man was not willing to spend the silver and have another bowl of noodles.The oldman said that it was for buying the seed.Then he took his load again and went away.
The oldman saved the silver coin to buy seed and save his land.He had a deep attachment to his land.He was proud of his occupation as a farmer.This old man was self-reliant and unwilling to beg. He attached great to saving for the seed.This is typical character of the chinese farmers.This story shows the selflessness and the nobility of the farmers character.
