Lao Can's Travels (classical Library)
by Liu E
About This Novel
This book is one of the four major condemnation novels in the late Qing Dynasty. The book draws on Lao Can's travels and experiences to expose the tyranny of "honest officials" and points out that the so-called "honest officials" who "don't need money" are actually executioners who are "eager to become high officials" and do not hesitate to kill people to take credit. The author himself is quite proud of this point, saying: "Novel has always exposed the evil of corrupt officials, and some have mentioned the evil of honest officials, starting from "The Travels of Lao Can"." This reflects the author's relatively progressive side that sympathizes with the suffering of the people, but his basic political views are backward, and he opposes the bourgeois democratic revolution and the anti-aggression struggle of the Boxer Rebellion. This is also clearly reflected in this book. Therefore, "Lao Can's Travels" is a book with both flaws and advantages.
