My Uncle Yule: This article was published in French Gaul Daily on August 7th, 1883, and it is a masterpiece of critical realism. The so-called "critical realism" means that the writer's basic attitude towards the existing social order is critical. My Uncle Yule is a collection of short stories and one of the novels collected by boule de suif. Among the works collected in boule de suif, some describe the enthusiasm of the French people in the Franco-Prussian War, exposing the cowardice and incompetence of the bourgeoisie at that time and people's distorted thoughts because of money; Some truly reproduce the misfortune, fate, desperate struggle and unyielding struggle of the middle and lower classes in France.

Theme: By way of comparison, the author describes the completely different attitudes of Philip and his wife towards their younger brother Yule, and depicts a tragic picture of a poor brother breaking off relations with his younger brother in capitalist society, which artistically reveals that the relationship between people in capitalist society is a "pure money relationship" rather than the theme of a better life in which people help each other.
