Synopsis

[Zhang Henshui's classics, allegorical and satirical novels, all living things in the Republic of China, realistic fantasy and dreams, realistic criticism of the Anti-Japanese War] "Eighty-One Dreams" is Zhang Henshui's allegorical and satirical novel about the peak of the Anti-Japanese War. It uses continuous strange dreams to connect the complete story. The author lives in Chongqing and dreams every night, and the absurd dreams hide the real chaos in the rear: everyone in the Dog-headed Kingdom worships foreign goods, and the government and businessmen monopolize candy and raise prices sky high; corrupt officials in Adugu Pass rely on bribes to release goods; officials in Huntan State hold meetings all day long to talk but achieve nothing; as soon as the victory is announced, businessmen only plan to hoard goods and increase prices, without caring about their homeland. The book borrows the fantasy settings of Journey to the West and Flowers Through the Looking Glass to describe profiteers, corrupt bureaucrats, empty-talking literati, and insensitive common people one by one. The seemingly unrealistic fantasy is a true microcosm of Chongqing in the Republic of China. The text is simple and easy to read, and the laughter and curses sharply expose the ills of the times. There is no obscure ancient text, and ordinary people can understand the sarcasm behind it. The manuscript was chewed to death by mice, and the fragments were compiled into a volume. Each dream is an independent story. It has a brisk rhythm, has both fantasy and interest, and contains profound reflections on reality. It is a must-read masterpiece of popular literature in the Republic of China.
