In ha jin's story "a decade," why does the narrator decide to see her old teacher again after ten years?

In Ha Jin's story, the narrator decided to visit her teacher to pay her a visit and also maybe apologize for how she had been during high school. Her and her friends' actions had been a source of punishment for her teacher during that time. So, she wanted to see how she had been and maybe even catch up with her former teacher.

Explanation:

In "A Decade", Ha Jin narrates a story about a student who had undergone so many experiences under communist Chinese laws. The story is part of a series of stories written in "Under The Red Flag".

The story begins with the narrator going back to visit her old countryside house where she had done her schooling. there, she decided to pay a visit to a former teacher of hers, Miss Zhu Wenli. Now, the narrator and Zhu Wenli had a lot of shared experiences during high school. Once, she and her friend had caught Miss Wenli and her then boyfriend in an unhealthy position, leading to her be sent to the countryside. Again, the narrator tells another scene when Miss Wenli was explaining about the meaning of "metaphor". She was accused of blasphemy against the great leader Chairman Mao. She was then sent to the countryside to be "disciplined".

Now, coming back to the present scenario, when the narrator had gone to meet her, she came upon two ladies arguing about an egg. If the woman hadn't mentioned the name of the other woman, the narrator wouldn't have recognized her own teacher. Such was the change in appearance of Miss Wenli. Unlike the soft, elegant lady she used to be, now she is just a bony body with "a numb stony look". The narrator left, feeling angry not at Miss Wenli but at the communist society's 'punishment' of her former teacher. She had been completely changed of her previous personality and appearance, replaced by a being that is hardly recognizable.

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
