Toward the end of the last century modern Chinese fiction emerged
as part of a general movement for reform. Intellectual leaders of
the time saw in fiction a powerful weapon for political agitation.
In contrasts to the traditional Chinese tales, therefore, these
stories are starkly realistic. They turn the searchlight of truth
on the dark side of modern China's life, on the poverty, the
superstition the incubus of tradition. And they presage the new
world for which the people of China are now fighting, and the
heroism of the battle. This anthology covers the period from 1918
to 1937.
