The Human World (5)

1 Shu is a humpback. His body is misshaped badly, throat reaching navel, shoulders over head, neck exposing askew to sky, buttock level with rib, guts upside down. Does he look like a human?

2 However, Mr. Shu did the work of sewing and washing clothes and did the part-time work of grinding rice. Besides feeding himself, he still could make his family of ten people live well.

3 All people were frightened to scurry away at all directions when the governmental conscription order issued. Only Mr. Shu lingered freely on the street, without fear of the conscription. He also was the last man to be conscribed for the governmental service.

4 However, he always had his share of welfare on relief of the government. Sometime he even received more than others.

5 So it is worthy of considering. As the disabled he could live through his life. Can those who forget or diverge from the worldly conducts are possible to live like that too?
