About this eBook

Author Wang, Junqing
Title 冷眼观
Alternate Title Leng Yan Guan
Summary "冷眼观" by Junqing Wang is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book begins by setting a reflective tone regarding the state of Chinese society, particularly focusing on themes of corruption, the struggle for reform, and the quest for constitutional rights within a backdrop of social decay. The narrator recounts personal experiences that deeply resonate with the socio-political climate of the time, hinting at a larger narrative that weaves together individual and national struggles. The opening of the story introduces us to a complex protagonist named Wang Xiaoya, who reflects on his past as he encounters societal decay upon returning to China from studying abroad. We learn of his family background, particularly the impact of his father’s death and the influence of a powerful uncle. As Wang engages with various figures in his society and contemplates the nature of corruption and morality, he becomes increasingly aware of the barriers to reform. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal norms and individual dilemmas, foreshadowing Wang's internal and external conflicts regarding loyalty, integrity, and the changing world around him.
