Contemporary Chinese Stories is a collection of short stories written by Wang, Chi Chen. The book features a diverse range of stories that explore various themes such as love, family, identity, and culture. The stories are set in modern-day China and offer a unique insight into the country's social and cultural landscape. The characters in the stories are complex and multi-dimensional, and their experiences reflect the challenges and opportunities of contemporary Chinese society. The book is written in English and offers readers a glimpse into Chinese literature and culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of modern-day China.Toward the end of the last century modern Chinese fiction emerged as part of a general movement for reform. Intellectual leaders of the time saw in fiction a powerful weapon for political agitation. In contrasts to the traditional Chinese tales, therefore, these stories are starkly realistic. They turn the searchlight of truth on the dark side of modern China�������s life, on the poverty, the superstition the incubus of tradition. And they presage the new world for which the people of China are now fighting, and the heroism of the battle. This anthology covers the period from 1918 to 1937.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
