Features: This is an interesting book. To be precise, it is a wise book, because its interestingness stems from the insight and mockery of human nature by a sage. Fortress Besieged shows us how a truly intelligent person views life and how they use the words that all writers must use to express their "perspectives" and "feelings." Novels can be written this way, and such a high level of attainment is also present in the craftsmanship of novelists. It can be said that the charm of Fortress Besieged is dual: one is the life itself that the writer presents, and the other is the writer's own presentation. After reading Qian's works, including his academic writings, especially this Fortress Besieged, you will feel that everything around you, including yourself, and even some things you were once quite enthusiastic about, has taken on a considerable touch of comedy. A certain part of Chinese society and a particular type of characters. When writing about such people, I have not forgotten that they are human, simply human, with the fundamental nature of bare-skinned, two-legged animals.
