The Collection of the Most "expensive" Writers in the Republic of China: Wuzi Passed the Imperial Examination
About This Novel
This novel is another satirical masterpiece by Zhang Henshui after "The Eighty-One Dream". It focuses on the ugly behavior of the Kuomintang's "recruitment of senior officials" after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The "Five Sons" in the title of the book cleverly represent the goals that corrupt officials were madly chasing at that time: gold, houses, cars, money, and women. The story revolves around the activities of the receptionist Jin Ziyuan after he flew to Peking. It describes how he used his power to enrich himself, took bribes and perverted the law, and dealt with many women. The work sharply criticizes that what the so-called "victory" brings is not light and reconstruction, but a new round of robbery and corruption. It is a mirror that reveals the chaos of post-war society.
