    Reader note

    "The Spy in Chengdu" is a spy novel that deeply integrates espionage with Chengdu's local culture. It seamlessly blends cultural elements with the plot and characters' actions: the Shu embroidered handkerchief is a key prop for "hiding secret orders and carrying antidotes"; the Sichuan opera face-changing stage is a crucial scene for "hiding secret doors and setting traps"; and elements such as wontons, broad bean paste, and the well water of Qingyang Palace serve to enhance emotions and conflicts (e. G., Lin Zhimei falls into the sauce vat to protect her handkerchief, and the "warmth" of the wontons echoes the vibrant, down-to-earth nature of Chengdu). This makes the "Chengdu flavor" an organic part of the story, rather than an isolated label. This book is worth reading and highly recommended!
