| Summary | "雪月梅傳" by Lang Chen is a historical novel written in the 18th century. The narrative centers around multiple characters, with a particular focus on the lives of families affected by societal norms, familial responsibilities, and the complexities of morality in human relationships. At the start of the story, the author reflects on his motivations for writing and introduces the main characters, including the young scholar 岑秀才, who seeks to escape a vendetta against his family. We learn about 岑秀's background and his mother's concerns for their safety due to a powerful adversary, leading them to seek refuge with relatives. The narrative is imbued with themes of duty, moral integrity, and the struggle against fate, introducing readers to a rich tapestry of characters and the occurrences that intertwine their fates. The opening sets the stage for a blend of myth and reality, hinting at a larger commentary on human experiences and the consequences of one's actions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
