About This Novel
"The Appearance of Officialdom", written by Li Boyuan, a writer in the late Qing Dynasty, is my country's first chapter-length novel that was serialized in newspapers and periodicals and directly faced the society and achieved a sensational effect. It is also a representative work of condemnation novels and pioneered the trend of modern novels criticizing social reality. The work takes the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty as the object of expression, focusing on describing the corruption, darkness and ugliness of the old officialdom during the collapse of feudal society. Here there are military ministers, governors and governors, admirals, as well as county magistrates, officials, and miscellaneous officials. They are either dirty and despicable, ignorant, or corrupt, forming a picture of the bureaucracy in the late Qing Dynasty.
