Focus this part of your answer on the second part of the source, from *line 24 to the end*. A student said, 'I wasn't all that surprised by the disappearance of the stranger child at the end of the extract. The writer has left us in no doubt that she is part of Rosie's imagination.'

To what extent do you agree?

In your response you could include

1) Consider the disappearance of the stranger child

2) Evaluate how the writer presents the stranger child

3) Support your response with references to the text

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
