by Wang Lei
About This Novel
Did you know that Li Bai was a famous son-in-law in ancient times? Why did the immortal poet, who did not envy wealth, marry into a wealthy family twice? Su Dongpo is not only a great writer in Chinese history, but also a veritable "foodie"! Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo cuttlefish, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo soup, these delicacies loved by modern people are all related to his old man. Li Qingzhao, a talented woman through the ages, was also trapped by a "scumbag". She would rather spend two years in jail than sue her husband and run towards freedom without hesitation. From Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty to Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty, "The Shocking Guest" selects twenty ancient literati to tell their lives and the historical stories of their dynasties in a humorous way. The whole book uses the stories of literati as clues to connect the rise and fall of Chinese history and explore the historical details hidden in the writings of literati.
