Cat City
by Lao She
About This Novel
In 1932, Mr. Lao She completed a work called "Cat City" which was considered an outlier at the time. In a sense, "Cat City" can be regarded as a work that transcended its times at the time. When this work was translated and introduced to the West, its subject matter and style were deeply loved by Western readers.

very good
After reading it, I found it quite interesting. After reading it, a few thoughts floated through my mind, and then drifted away again😸😸
Find yourself
After reading Cat City, I gained a deeper understanding of the people and society during the Republic of China. At the same time, I also reflected on myself. I have no self, I don't know what I want, I live blindly, I have no sense of responsibility to society, the country, my family, etc. Cat City Chronicles satirizes people and social phenomena in real society by satirizing cat people. However, this is not the author's purpose. The author hopes that readers can use this to reflect on themselves and find their true selves. Don't be a cat person, become a responsible family member and social person
Highly recommended
This book is very good, but why don't I feel like no one is reading it?
OK OK
Hehehe, it feels good. I like Lao She's article very much.
reflect reality
The book reflects reality with humorous and imaginative words. As a scholar and thinker, Mr. Lao She tries to find solutions for society. The book talks about the different views on the two civilizations, from which I can vaguely feel the civilization he yearned for - different from the capital society that indulges in paper and money, different from the culture of liberalism that disrespects the law, different from the social constraints of using violence to fight violence, different from the people in the feudal families who were harmed by feudal ideas, different from the perfunctory young people, different from the self-proclaimed literati class... In his time, it was impossible to say these words openly, so he used a more obscure way of writing, and he wrote it with sharpness and precision. Looking at it now, it still has a lot of practical significance. These are all foolish short-sightedness, but I am not unhappy about it, so I will briefly express my disdain here.
This is a profile of China's humiliating history. On Mars, lack of force will never be the reason for loss of international status. When the citizens lose their dignity, the country gradually loses its national dignity. No one wants to cooperate with a country without national integrity
Is this Lao She that Lao She? Or the same name?
I......
Everything is fine, but I can't understand it. I prefer narrative articles.
I finished reading it without any explanation!
Nothing else to say, just read it here!
The epitome of China's history of humiliation
The plot is detailed and this is a good novel.
