Answer:
The symbol of the carp in Wang's short story, "The Carp," is significant in that it is important to both her culture and childhood. When Wang was a child, her father, the school principal, caught a carp that weighed 20 pounds, and he shared it with the school. Rather than returning the kindness that he had given them, his friends and peers turned on him. Throughout the poem, the carp symbol returns. Wang tells the reader that "a carp leaping over the dragon gate is a very lucky sign," however, the son of Confucius had been named Carp, but he still died an early death.
