The Complete Works of Wu Jianren: Social Novels (part 1)
About This Novel
This book contains three works including "The New Story of Stone", "The Vernacular West Chamber" and "The Four King Kong's Wonderful Books of Famous Courtesans on the Sea". It is based on serialization in Shanghai's "Nanfang Daily", "Xinbao" and other publications, retaining the original illustrations and deleting other appendix texts. "New Story of the Stone" continues the story of "A Dream of Red Mansions" and inherits the psychedelic time and space framework of "The Story of the Stone". In the novel, Jia Baoyu was resurrected in 1901 and witnessed a large number of new electrified things such as trains, ships, and electric lights. He was shocked by the highly developed Western technological civilization and believed that China would one day be able to manufacture these things. "The Romance of the West Chamber" is Wu Jianren's adaptation of Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber" into a vernacular novel, and "The Four King Kong's Wonderful Books of the Prostitutes on the Sea" is Wu Jianren's first chapter-length novel.
