About This Novel

"May Fourth" prose is the standard of modern Chinese prose. There are many important connections between late Qing prose and May Fourth prose. This is not only because there is a direct historical connection between the May Fourth Movement and the late Qing Dynasty, but there are also many detailed logical connections between the two. The prose of the late Qing Dynasty continued to evolve across the Xinhai and early Republic of China with its inherent inertia. The prose of the May Fourth period historically inherited the prose of the late Qing Dynasty and generated new qualities in the new historical context. This book takes the "modernity" of prose as the basic perspective, and discusses the historical connection between late Qing prose and the May Fourth Movement in a relatively comprehensive and in-depth manner from the internal logic, media carrier, language expression, and the contribution of important prose writers to the generation of prose modernity.
