The Collection of Books by the Most "expensive" Writers of the Republic of China: the World of Monsters
About This Novel
This book, also known as "The Cows and Horses Walk", is Zhang Henshui's masterpiece that deeply analyzes the social mentality of the rear areas during the war. The novel uses the activities of Mr. And Mrs. Ximende, a doctor of psychology, as clues to describe the bizarre social scene of Chongqing, the "accompanying capital" during the stalemate period of the Anti-Japanese War: bureaucratic corruption, rampant profiteers, the struggle of intellectuals, and the hardship of ordinary people. The title of the book "Monster" means ghost, which refers to the distortion of human nature, moral decay and the chaos of demons in that special environment. The work provides sharp criticism and realistic records of the social and economic contradictions in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the survival philosophies of various people, and is of high cognitive value.
