【Editor's Recommendation】
● A master of modern Chinese popular literature.
Zhang Henshui is a crucial figure in modern Chinese popular fiction: renowned for his prolific output and exceptional artistry. He penned over 120 novels, more than Balzac. His readers included prominent statesmen like Zhou Enlai and Zhang Xueliang, scholars like Zhang Shizhao, Chen Yinke, and Xia Jian, and writers like Mao Dun, Lao She, Zhang Ailing, and Wang Anyi. He propelled Chinese popular fiction to its peak, earning comparisons to Alexandre Dumas and Charles Dickens, and even a call to mind as a "true man of letters."
● Zhang Henshui’s “business card” work.
Zhang Henshui wrote numerous novels, but "Tears and Laughter" stands out as his "masterpiece, known to all." The work blends romance, martial arts, and social drama, and through its dramatic and gripping plot, it depicts a panoramic view of Chinese society and life during a turbulent era. It also explores the conflict between modern urban life and traditional moral psychology, a theme often woven into Zhang Henshui's fiction.
● Brand new binding, with a vintage bookmark included.
