Features: Zhu Ziqing's prose, a category that reflects society and life, is highly realistic and demonstrates a clear anti-imperialist and anti-feudal tendency. For example, in "Ahe," the author writes the tragedy of an 18-year-old rural girl, Ahe. The author's sincere sympathy, understanding, and humanitarian spirit forge the moving artistic power of this kind of "blood and tears" prose. In "The White Man—God’s Pride," the author sees "a condensed version" of nearly a century of "China’s diplomatic history" in the arrogant and fierce glimpse of a Western child. Another category of prose focuses on everyday and personal experiences, with high artistic value and is considered a model of vernacular beautiful writing.
