Sure. 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is a great short fiction. It's a very thought - provoking story that shows how blindly following traditions can be dangerous. Another one is 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor. It has complex characters and a lot of religious undertones. And 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway is also excellent. It's a simple yet deep conversation - based story that leaves a lot to the reader's interpretation.

Well, I would recommend 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a satirical short story that critiques the idea of equality taken to an extreme. 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula K. Le Guin is another wonderful short fiction. It makes you think about moral and ethical choices. And 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes, which is both touching and tragic as it follows the story of a man with an intellectual disability.

Inside the luxurious mansion, Pei Qiqi angrily threw a stack of newspaper onto the man, “The article is claiming that I am a hen who cannot lay eggs! But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!
