Into the Wild

I recently read Jon Krakauer's Into the wild, then read 徐崖客. I can't say I enjoyed Krakauer's story of Chris McCandless much, nor did I think much of McCandless, but there's an odd similarity with the story of 徐崖客, the child of a concubine who his father was going to kill at the urging of his step-mother. So Xu was also betrayed by his father and left to go into the wild, where he found decent "creatures."
