On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officialdom at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals.

The author signed "Pingjiang Buxiao Sheng", that is, Xiang Kairan, a native of Pingjiang, Hunan. This book describes the life and experiences of two international students in Japan, and it once caused a sensation. "Chunming Foreign History" takes the love story of newspaper reporter Yang Xingyuan, prostitute Liyun, and female poet Li Dongqing as the running thread. It has a grand background and a calm narrative. "Chunming Foreign History" is a picture of Beijing customs in the 1920s. It can be called a classic and still has immortal artistic charm when read today.
