About This Novel
"Leibniz's Letter to Kangxi" is the latest absurdist realism novel written by the young novelist Wang Lei. Billionaire Ding Laoquan's finger bones were broken. Ding Laoquan's son Ding Qiao suspected that it was the second-generation official Han Zheng, so he fabricated a "Leibniz's Letter to Kangxi" and sold it to Han Zheng through a French cultural relics dealer. Han Zheng found the treasure and publicized it widely after returning to China. He also held an appraisal meeting and a group of experts identified it as authentic. From then on, Han Zheng and Ding Qiao partnered up to open Leibniz Bookstore, Leibniz Hotel, Leibniz Travel Company... The whole novel is full of irony and absurdity. The characters in the book perform various behaviors around a "fake" letter, exposing all kinds of chaos in China's cultural and entertainment industry, with a strong comedy effect and a sense of concern for reality.
