About This Novel
The writing date of "The Story of Luoka" is generally believed to be around the end of the tenth century. The author is unknown and is presumed to be a man of relatively low status. The story describes that the daughter of Minamoto Tadayori Nagoya was neglected by her stepmother and was forced to live in a low-lying house, known as "Lokaku". Luokawa met a major general, and they lived a happy life after marriage. The stepmother held a grudge and severely attacked the servant who had pulled the strings. After Tadayori Minamoto passed away, her stepmother completely lost power. The major general forgave her when he saw that his stepmother had repented. "The Story of Rakubo" completely adopts the creative method of classical realism and faithfully reflects a corner of aristocratic life. On the one hand, it promotes the idea of karma and retribution that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. On the other hand, it also proposes a new moral code and values for aristocratic society, highlighting the valuable spirit of loyalty to love.
