The Scholars (Guomai Classics)

After Fan Jin passed the imperial examination, he actually went crazy and was slapped awake by his father-in-law Hu Tutu. This was the shock of the imperial examination success to a scholar. Wang Yuhui watched his daughter starve to death in the house, just to die for her husband and get a chastity memorial monument, but he turned around and shed tears of sadness. This is the cruelty of ethics and the subtlety of human nature. Shen Qiongzhi escaped from marriage and went to Nanjing. She was a single woman and wanted to make a living by selling her literature in Nanjing, a city where people gathered together. This is something that modern female writers find difficult, and she was eventually captured by the government. This is the desire and suppression of personal independence. Yan Jiansheng tried his best to straighten his concubine, but she died, and his only precious son also died. This is a trick of fate. Du Shenqing only wanted to take in a concubine and continue his heirs, but what he really loved was men. This was a limitation of the times and a shackle of ethics. Kuang Chaoren, who is sharpening his head to climb up, Guo Xiaozi, who is searching for his father thousands of miles away, Ushiuraro, who is cheating and cheating, Quan Wuyong, who is pretending to be a celebrity, and so on. Hundreds of people in "The Scholars" are all struggling on their own destiny. Reading this book, I have a feeling of floating in the clouds, overlooking all living beings, and the rolling world of mortals. All kinds of things in the world, joys and sorrows, and the dust of fame and fame are all in my eyes. It may be moved, sad, or lost, and it is unforgettable. Mr. Lu Xun commented on this book: It is humorous but can be humorous, and it is euphemistic and full of satire. It's fair. The satire in "The Scholars" is both laughable and tearful, and is thought-provoking. Mr. Hu Shi analyzed this book: This book is a satirical novel with a bit of realism technique. There are no words about gods and monsters, and there are few words about heroic children. Indeed, "The Scholars" is so real. Wu Jingzi looked on coldly and wrote about his era for people to see. The writing is so interesting. The form of short stories connected to a long novel is very suitable for today's fast-paced life. You can just open it and read it as a short story.
