About This Novel
After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, the Seven Gentlemen were interrogated and killed at Caishikou. Tan Sitong's aide Xu Fangbai escaped from the knife and fled in the bloody storm, drifting to Shanghai. He looked up in despair, with nowhere to live. In the dark clouds at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the arrival of Zhang Yuanji brought a glimmer of hope to Xu Fangbai, and the appearance of the chivalrous Shandong brothers and sisters also brought a bright light to Xu Fangbai's lonely life. How will a helpless scholar restart his life that has been stagnant for a while? What kind of new way out will Xu Fangbai face? "Two Rooms" is a newly created novel by Sun Yong with great historical significance. This work continues Sun Yong's thinking on the identity and status of intellectuals in his creative genealogy, and infiltrates his insight into Chinese history and culture. "Two Rooms" uses a novel to imagine the fate of scholars back then, and how intellectuals would find a way out and settle down physically and mentally in the disintegrating social situation.
