Is this the end of the siege?

There was hope in his heart again, like a wet firewood that could not be lit but began to smoke, as if everything would be solved. Unknowingly, the darkness closed and wrapped around him tightly, like a night with the lights out. He fell asleep. At first, he slept very soundly. Hunger was like a pair of tweezers that wanted to break his coma, but he subconsciously blocked it. Gradually, the tweezers loosened and became blunt. His sleep was so firm that it could not be held by the tweezers. There were no dreams, no feelings. It was the most primitive sleep in life, but at the same time, it was a sample of death. The ancestral bell rang leisurely, as if it had been accumulating time for half a day. In the dead of night, it was moved out and counted one by one: Dang, dang, six times. Six o'clock was five hours ago. At that time, he was on his way home, intending to treat Jou-jia well and persuade him not to make the couple unhappy again because of yesterday's incident. At that time, Jou-jia was waiting at home for him to come home for dinner, hoping that he would make up with his aunt and work in her factory. This outdated timer inadvertently contained irony and sadness about life, which was deeper than all words and laughter.
Didn't they say that Fang Hongjian and Sun Roujia had divorced…? Was this the ending?

Answer 1

I'm just a reader of novels, and I can't provide the ending of a novel. Fortress Besieged was a modern Chinese story about the phenomenon of "Fortress Besieged" that Qian Zhongshu described. It described the contradictions and conflicts between people's society and self-awareness. The ending of the novel had not been written yet, so it was impossible to determine whether it was a "besieged city" ending.
