About this eBook

Author Shan, Ben
Title 蕉葉帕
Alternate Title Jiao ye pa
Credits Produced by Huang Xiang-Ru
Summary "蕉葉帕" by Ben Shan is a fictional narrative written in a historical Chinese period, likely around the Song Dynasty. The story revolves around a young scholar named Long Xiang, who is depicted as talented and charming yet struggling with unfulfilled ambitions and romantic desires. The plot introduces a complex interplay between love, magical transformations, and societal expectations. The opening of the book establishes the main character, Long Xiang, and his predicament of unrequited love as he yearns for the affection of a young woman named Weak Sister, who is the daughter of a prominent official. As he maneuvers through his feelings while attempting to keep the troublesome Hu Gongzi at bay, the narrative hints at deeper mystical elements with the inclusion of a fox spirit that seeks to meddle with human lives for its own desires. This blend of romance, comedy, and the supernatural sets the tone for the unfolding tale, weaving a cultural context within which themes of loyalty, ambition, and fate are explored.
