Cat City
by Lao She
About This Novel
This book contains two novels by Mr. Lao She, namely "Cat City" and "Xiaopo's Birthday". In 1932, Mr. Lao She completed a work called "Cat City" which was considered an outlier at the time. In a sense, "Cat City" can be regarded as a work that transcended its times at the time. When this work was translated and introduced to the West, its subject matter and style were deeply loved by Western readers. "Xiaopo's Birthday" takes Xiaopo, a boy living in Nanyang (that is, Singapore), and his sister Xianpo as the protagonists, and tells all kinds of interesting things in Xiaopo's life. Lao She borrowed a child's tone and eyes to "make a small satire on things in Nanyang", implying a "so-called thought that does not belong to the world of children", which is to "unite the weak and small nations of the world to work together."
