Screams and Choking

Set against the backdrop of the Republic of China, it tells the legendary life of Wu Wenxiu, a young man from a mountainous area in southern Zhejiang, who went from a poor mountain village to the world. He was admitted to the University of Edinburgh based on his talent, but he accepted funding from businessmen because of his father's kindness during his lifetime; he shouted for fairness and justice in the academic circles of Peking, but in private he operated for the benefit of his family; he founded a new school to regain his ideals, but struggled painfully between reality and ideals. This novel profoundly analyzes the human transformation of intellectuals in the tide of the times, and reveals the true desires behind the mask of pseudo-moralism. In that era of declining etiquette, is fairness and justice a luxury product or a fig leaf? Wu Wenxiu spent his life giving answers and leaving us with endless thoughts.
