General Fiction官场现形记(全集)
(qing Dynasty) Written By Li Baojia And Edited By Zhang Youhe
This book is my country's first chapter-length novel that was serialized in newspapers and periodicals, faced the society directly and achieved sensational effect. It is also a representative work of condemnation novels and pioneered the trend of criticizing social reality in modern novels. The book begins with the history of Zhao Wen and Qian Dian, a lower-class scholar who promoted officials and assisted miscellaneous officials, and connects the various bureaucrats of the Qing government, including state officials, provincial vassals, imperial ministers, military aircraft, and central halls.
