Synopsis

The book, written and edited by Mei Yi, introduces to the readers a subversive concept of emptiness and a reasonable sense of the world affairs. Since ancient times, critics have kept reviewing The Golden Lotus, the best of the Four Great Classical Novels of Ming Dynasty. However, they tend to read the book from similar angles and lack new ideas. In this book, however, the author partakes multiple identities a historian with unique perspective, a litterateur with keen insight, a sociologist with honesty to offer a novel analysis and explanation of the novel. His language is fantastic and his interpretation of the characters, his investigation of certain doubts about the novel itself and his understanding of the matters in the novel are superb as well. He successfully breaks the boundary between form and emptiness and subverts traditional imagination. His writing, with a strong sense of contemparaneity, not only introduces to the readers a new angle to understand the novel, but also offers them all kinds of possibility and freedom for unlimited imagination. Through the reading of The Golden Lotus, Mei Yi obtains a new, brilliant and thorough understanding of worldly affairs.
