The Chess Master is a story of escape and salvation, and the clue
for both is chess. The protagonist, Wang Yisheng, undergoes a
gradual transformation from ""chess fool"" to ""chess master"" -
from an alienated young man obsessed with the material needs of
life to a spiritually enlightened transmitter of the Chinese
tradition. By reversing the pervasive anti-traditional trend in
modern Chinese literature and eschewing any overt influence from
Western literature, A Cheng has created in the ""The Chess Master""
a radically new fiction which is both thoroughly modern and deeply
imbued with the Chinese tradition. He has also achieved a
""disengaged"" realism and demonstrated a respect for form.
