Greeting Card is a Dog
by Yu Huaian
About This Novel
In novels with animals as the main subjects, writers mostly use the mirror image of "the other" to reflect on themselves and the current situation, and see through the complexity of human society from a spiritual level. "The Greeting Card Is a Dog" talks about the dignity of humans and dogs. Dignity is part of human rights. For a Chinese, dignity is sometimes more important than life, and one of its manifestations is having face. This is true for humans, and it is also true for dogs who are closely connected with human emotions. The three games between this dog named He Ka and the village chief Zhao Dacheng were all based on face. Different from the general animal perspective novels, it is not limited to the dog's perspective, but examines human society from the dual perspectives of humans and dogs, revealing the absurdity of human social structure and the collapse of rural moral ethics.
