The story tackles the issue of Wang Lung’s sons and how they handle their father’s estate after his death. It deals mostly with the youngest son, who goes off to war in The Good Earth, and his son. Buck claimed that after completing The Good Earth “I found my mind so filled and absorbed with Wang Lung’s family that I felt quite compelled to go on with them. As Wang Lung lies near death, his family prepares for his funeral, including the first two of his three sons. They send for their brother and are surprised to see him leading a band of soldiers into the town. After he left home near the end of The Good Earth, he joined the army of a warlord and quickly rose in the ranks.
