Synopsis

[Satirical novels of the Republic of China, five sons admitted to the imperial examination, true records of the ugly behavior of high-ranking officials, official shady stories, popular worldly affairs masterpieces] "Five Sons Admitted to the Imperial College" is Zhang Henshui's classic Republican novel criticizing the world situation. It focuses on the chaos of Peking's reception after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It takes the reception commissioner Jin Zihara as the protagonist and tears away the fig leaf of corruption in the post-war officialdom. The so-called "Five Sons Enrolled in the Imperial College" means that Kaneko was obsessed with getting gold, houses, cars, women, and money, which perfectly exposed the greedy faces of the officials at that time. Commissioner Jin from Chongqing has just landed in Peiping. The old traitor tribe is vying to curry favor with him. Luxury houses, jewelry, and luxury cars are offered to him on his own initiative. Young secretary Yang Luzhu, famous actress Tian Baozhen, and girls from aristocratic families are all dealing with him one after another. On the surface, he counts enemy and counterfeit materials, secretly embezzles gold bars and diamonds, colludes with businessmen to buy gold and privately distribute real estate, constantly eats, drinks, whores, gambles and socializes, talks about the righteousness of the family and the country, and is full of selfish desires. The writing style of the whole book is simple and down-to-earth, without any obscure classical language. The rhythm of every twist and turn is tight, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. It does not directly criticize officials, but only uses daily social interactions and private conspiracies to satirize the chronic diseases of the era. The plot of post-war speculation, power and sex trading, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc. Is straightforward and easy to understand. It has both a sense of story and historical reality value, and you can understand the absurdity and decadence behind the victory of the Republic of China.
