| Summary | "官場現形記" by Boyuan Li is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a rural village and revolves around the lives of two families, primarily focusing on the Zhao family, who is celebrating the success of their grandson Zhao Wen, a newly minted scholar. The novel explores themes of ambition, social status, and the intricacies of familial and community relationships in the context of the traditional Chinese examination system. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Zhao family, who have recently celebrated the success of their grandson Zhao Wen after he passed an important scholarly examination. As the news spreads, excitement and rivalry emerge within the village, particularly with the rival Fang family, leading to various discussions about the importance of education and social standing. Characters like Fang Bikai, whose son is also attempting to achieve scholarly success, reflect the competitive nature of this world where personal ambitions intersect with family honor. The setting and the blend of humor and tension illustrate the societal expectations and aspirations for future generations, establishing a rich tapestry of life that serves as the backdrop for the unfolding drama.
