Cat City
by Lao She
About This Novel
"Cat City" is a novel written by Mr. Lao She in 1932. Different from his previous "Beijing-flavored novels" with humorous language style, "Cat City" tells an allegorical story with a science fiction flavor: "I" crashed in a "cat country" on Mars and was caught by the "cat people" living here. The absurd and extravagant lives of the cat people and the chaotic and ugly social chaos made "I" despair; the various systems of the cat country have fundamentally changed. It is inherently corrupt, and the invasion of foreign troops accelerated the collapse of the cat country. "I" witnessed the cat people's demise and finally returned to the earth... This story uses a black humorous approach to satirize the life of the Republic of China.
