About This Novel
"Selected Short Stories by Hu Yepin" includes more than ten classic works such as "The Fool", "Live Beads", "Fighting", "Cat" and "Father", which outlines the deformed picture of the old society in old China with sharp strokes. The anthology includes the absurd tragedy of a plasterer who was killed due to superstitious rumors in "Living Beads", the tearing struggle of human nature under the violent conflicts in rural areas in "Armed Fight", and the bloody and tearful indictment of warlords trampling on the countryside in "A Village". Hu Yepin has excellent writing style and sharp perspective. He is very good at cutting in from the bottom perspective. Works such as "Parents" and "Pearl Earrings" will allow you to fully see and feel the oppression of individuals by the feudal patriarchal system; works such as "Drunk Madness", "Little Man" and "Bargain" highlight the soul trauma of those who are insulted and harmed. Hu's writing combines Lu Xun's cold irony with the revolutionary passion of left-wing literature, such as the close-up of the idiot waiter in "The Idiot" and the use of symbolic techniques to metaphor the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals in "The Snow-White Parrot". These works not only continue the realistic concerns of the May Fourth "Issue Novels", but also have a clear class consciousness and humanitarian stance, which have become a heavy blow in criticizing the old society in modern Chinese literature. They are hearty to read and full of aftertaste.
