Joking About He Shen
by Yinjing
About This Novel
The official Heshen and the Qing Dynasty were actually a feudal officialdom. Is it true that for an official like He Shen, as recorded in Qing history, he was ordered to hang himself in prison by Jiaqing within ten and a half months? If ordinary people rebel, they won't be convicted and punished so quickly. They must be tried. Such speed in punishing corrupt officials is unbelievable, hard to find in ancient and modern times, and yet unrealistic. It is even more impossible for the new king and the new world to be like this. Even if He Shen died ten thousand times, it would not be a pity. It is even more important to have rules and procedures, to be rational and evidence-based, to convince people with reason, and to warn the world. Just read this book as an unofficial history. It would be wrong to say too much. If you know the details, please carefully appreciate that a joke is not necessarily a joke, and even an adaptation is not necessarily a baseless and subversive work - "Jokes on Heshen"
