The narrator for the majority of Borges's "The Garden of Forking Paths" is Yu Tsun. He is a bitter and conflicted descendant of a wealthy Chinese family. He works now as a spy for the Germans, although he hates them, and think they are barbarous. He meets Stephen Albert, a British citizen who is a patient and solitary scholar, who studies the work of Yu Tsun great-grandfather, who was a philosopher.
