A live-streamed Chinese language lesson under the sky—the ancients were taken aback.

Let's outline the timeline of the entire story.

The text is an excerpt from the original work, only the first part, the morning Gregor turned into a beetle.

But you need to have a complete understanding of the whole story.

She switched to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation, and a timeline appeared on the screen.

On the first morning, Gregor found himself transformed into a beetle. He tried to get up and open the door, which terrified his family. His father chased him back into his room.

On the first night, his sister brought him food and discovered that he liked to eat rotten food, so she took it upon herself to bring him food every day from then on.

"In the early days of his transformation, Gregor was extremely self-conscious, sensitive, and fearful."

He spent all day curled up under the sofa, and his sister brought a sheet to cover him completely.

He could only peek out and eavesdrop on his family's conversations through the wall.

He dared not show himself, dared not disturb anyone, dared not make a sound, living cautiously in the darkness.

Shen Moyan paused briefly after saying this.

"And at this time, his younger sister was the person who treated him the best in the entire novel."

Her voice softened slightly, as if she were reciting a brief, tender passage.

"She came in every day to bring him food and clean his room, trying her best to keep his place in order. She put a chair in his room so he could climb up and look out the window."

She was the last bit of warmth Gregor found after he turned into a beetle.

Shen Moyan sighed inwardly and continued to narrate calmly.

"But warmth has an expiration date."

"As time went by, the daily care and endless burdens gradually wore down my sister's patience."

She began to feel tired, irritable, and impatient.

To make it easier for the beetle to crawl, she suggested moving all the furniture from Gore's room in the empty space.

She paused, her eyes scanning the entire class.

"Only the mother still clung to a sliver of hope and insisted on keeping the furniture."

She's still waiting, waiting for the day her son can change back and return to a normal life.

"But at this point, the younger sister no longer thinks about 'what if my brother turns back into a human?'"

She had already accepted that she would be this beetle forever.

She only considered the survival conditions of the 'Beetle' monster, completely abandoning the spiritual needs of 'Gregor' as a person.

Shen Moyan gently tapped the podium.

"With the furniture moved out, the beetles are living comfortably, but the traces of Gregor's people are being erased little by little."

She lowered her eyes and continued speaking.

"The accident happened during this move."

"Gregor couldn't resist crawling out from under the sofa to protect the portrait of the noblewoman he had treasured for many years on the wall."

His mother, who hadn't seen his full face in a long time, was so frightened by the sudden appearance of this monster that she fainted on the spot.

"When his father saw this, he was furious. He grabbed an apple and smashed it into Gregor's shell. The wound became inflamed and ulcerated, permanently damaging his body."

The students in the classroom and the crowd under the canopy all showed expressions of reluctance.

Shen Moyan continued her explanation. Her voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was clear and somewhat cold to the audience.

"From that moment on, he completely lost the ability to crawl nimbly and became slow and weak."

She paused for a moment, then continued.

"Several months later, the family was in even greater financial straits. In order to supplement the family income, my parents rented out the spare rooms in the house to three tenants."

One night, the tenants were having dinner in the living room when the younger sister started playing the violin.

The sound of the piano was Gregor's lifelong obsession, the only beautiful hope in his weary life.

He worked tirelessly to earn money so he could send his younger sister to a music academy to study piano.

"He was so captivated by the music that he forgot his fear, his inferiority complex, and that he was a monster despised by everyone. He slowly crawled out of the room."

Her voice became low.

"It was this one appearance that completely destroyed the last bit of tolerance this family had left."

"The three tenants were terrified when they saw the beetle and immediately announced that they would terminate their lease."

The pent-up frustration, exhaustion, and despair that had been building up at home for months finally erupted at this moment.

"In front of the whole family, my sister uttered that coldest and cruelest sentence."

Shen Moyan spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Things can't go on like this anymore; we have to get rid of it."

The entire classroom fell silent.

"Everyone, pay attention to that word, it."

Shen Moyan wrote the word "it" on the blackboard.

"From this moment on, in his parents' eyes and in his sister's eyes, he was no longer a son or a brother."

He was a monster, a burden, something that had to be discarded.

The classroom was quiet, except for a student in the back row who unconsciously put down his textbook with a loud "thud."

Shen Moyan waited a few seconds before continuing to tell the final ending.

"Completely abandoned, Gregor silently crawled back into the dark room."

"He harbored no resentment towards his family, no anger, and no resistance."

What remains in his heart is still a deep love and guilt towards his family.

He understood his family's financial difficulties, their exhaustion, and even felt that his existence was indeed a burden to everyone.

"In this tender yet sorrowful state of mind, he quietly closed his eyes in the dead of night, exhausting all his life force."

She paused, her voice so soft it was as if she didn't want to disturb someone.

"The next morning, the maid found his body, shriveled and cold. She gently poked at it with a broom to confirm that he was completely dead."

"No funeral, no mourning, no regret."

"After his family confirmed his death, they felt only one emotion: a sense of relief."

"They took a day off and took the tram to the suburbs."

The spring sun shines brightly, and a warm breeze blows.

The burden that had weighed on the family for years was finally lifted, and they could finally relax.

The three of them stood in the bright spring sunshine, discussing moving and their new future.

There was something inexplicable in Shen Moyan's voice.

"Looking at their daughter, so youthful and radiant, completely relaxed, the parents suddenly had a clear thought:"

"Their daughter has grown up and is at the age where she should find a good husband and start a new life."

She closed her textbook and slowly scanned the entire class.

"One person's death becomes a new life for a family. This is the most absurd, coldest, and most realistic ending of 'The Metamorphosis'."
