However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!"

In 'the signal man short story', a significant theme is the power of perception. The signal man's perception of the apparitions and his attempts to make sense of them are central. There is also the theme of the industrial age and how it can be a desolate and isolating place. The railway setting, with its tunnels and tracks, represents this sense of a cold, mechanical world where the signal man is just a small part, yet he is haunted by things that seem beyond this ordinary world of trains and signals.
