Question

Describe the character of the professor in "Saboteur".

Answer 1

Answer:

Chiu Maguang is a professor who is the main character of the short-story called "Saboteur".

Explanation:

"Saboteur" is a short-story written by Chinese author Ha Jin that tells the story of Chui Maguang a 34 year old professor who lives in Harbin, China. Mr. Chui is a recently married man who works as a lecturer at Harbin University and who is also a member of the Communist Party. He has recently suffered from hepatitis, and as a result is now experiencing constant fear of relapsing. When Mr. Chui is falsely accused of being a saboteur, he never breaks down and holds his beliefs of justice and morality throughout the whole ordeal. This reinforces the notion that he is a strong willed person that, at times, can also be stubborn.

Answer 2

Saboteur is  told through consciousness of Chiu Muguang, a university professor who arrested and briefly kept in captivity and many people consider this professor as an intelligent person but he became a villain who is seeking revenge for the people. I hope this would help
