Master of Burlesque

"Oriental Chaplin" Xu Zhuodai's humorous novel collection "The Master of Funny" is now hilarious in vernacular version! Focusing on the fireworks in the alleys of Shanghai during the Republic of China, twenty stories use the pen as a stage to turn the joys, sorrows, and obsessions of people in the city into spicy and humorous farces. The laughter here is never a superficial joke, but a sharp insight. It is not only the warmth and warmth of human relationships in Shanghai a hundred years ago, but also a mirror of life through time. There is no deliberate preaching, just humorous descriptions of the world. A page is a market place, a smile is a life. While laughing, you can understand the warmth and character of all living beings in the Republic of China, and see the daily resonance between you and me.
