官場現形記 by Boyuan Li
"官場現形記" by Boyuan Li is a late-Qing Chinese novel written between 1901 and 1906. The work depicts the disintegration and deterioration of China's civil service bureaucracy during the final years of the Qing dynasty. With over 800 characters and numerous episodes, this satirical masterpiece weaves together themes of state decline, corrupt officials, imperialism, and the commercialization of human relations. Through action-packed and illustrative episodes, it presents a materialist critique of Chinese society's
transformation, capturing bureaucrats, aspiring officials, and those driven by profit in their various pursuits and schemes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
