老殘遊記 by E Liu

"老殘遊記" by E Liu is a novel written between 1903 and 1904 and published in 1907. Through the travels of Lao Can, a wandering physician, the story satirizes late Qing China's crumbling bureaucracy and social decay. As the hero journeys across the countryside, he confronts injustices, investigates crimes, and engages in philosophical debates about China's future. Blending poetic landscape descriptions with detective subplots, the novel uses allegory to explore whether technological advancement or social transformation can save a nation in crisis.
