Shen Congwen's World in Western Hunan: Old and New

About This Novel

"New and Old" tells the story of an executioner's misplaced value in two different historical periods. Beheading is his profession and career, and in the end, it strangely becomes the only support for the value of his life. When the method of punishment evolved from "barbaric" beheading to modern shooting, the executioner inevitably lost the sense of beauty and even sanctity gained from beheading.
