Monocular Telescope
by Feng Jicai
About This Novel
This is a novel. In the 19th century, Tianjin was one of the earliest places of conflict between China and the West. In this land, there were increasing exchanges and conflicts between the East and the West in economic, cultural, political and other aspects. At that time, there were many tragic problems. The connection in the world was one-way and incomprehensible, just like a monocular telescope. However, some people's interactions were able to transcend this limitation. Feng Jicai's novel "Monocular" is based on this special era and writes a wonderful story unique to that era.

When it comes to cross-border love, there are too many issues to consider. What's more, in that turbulent era, the West was constantly invading. How can such love be maintained?
The death of the thin man was just because there was no one to vouch for him. Zhang Yi was considered to have joined the Boxer Rebellion when he put on his turban. At that time, everyone had low self-esteem and the level of trust among others was very low.
Shana was treated as a spy and humiliated to death. Zhuang Shuxian was extremely quiet, but suffered a tragedy. Zhang Yi heroically sacrificed his life. The disaster really brought too much death and sadness.
