The Story of Controlling the Barbarians (thousands of Douban High-scoring Original Works·the State of the World)
by Zhang Lian
About This Novel
Seeing the bleak world, listen to a sigh! The work tells the interesting story of a Chinese girl Zhang Mimi and her American husband Preston from their acquaintance to their marriage. The author deliberately made fun of the Chinese aristocrats before the Opium War, calling the gentleman from the United States a "barbarian" and the relationship between the two as "controlling the barbarians". There are cultural conflicts in the work that make people laugh and laugh, as well as a warm and romantic love journey. In the final analysis, this is the joys and sorrows of the most ordinary pair of lovers in the world. This work is based on the author's blog diaries and Weibo random thoughts in the past two years. Each short article has a different length and style. The first few essays in the work are long, and the writing style is meaningful and elegant; while the last few short essays are composed of short interesting things captured by the author in his daily life, and the writing style is easy to laugh at. The author's gentleness as a Chinese girl and the humor of an American lover can often be seen. Zhang Mimi is a young woman born in the 1980s who is not good at pretending to be cool. She uses writing and translating as pastimes. Hemingway said that those who can write are creating, and those who cannot write are teaching writing in universities. And the latter is exactly what I do now.
