This book is the only play translated by Mr. Lao She in his lifetime, and its publication in English-Chinese parallel format is the first of its kind. Readers can discover a lesser-known side of this literary master—his translation style. Court struggles always evoke a sense of mystery, fear, and curiosity. Common people can never experience the taste of it, but Candida can lead curious readers deep into the court, immersing them in the power struggle between the king and the prime minister, allowing them to experience the seemingly polite but actually deadly mind games. Those with real power, whether they appear laid-back or not, may not lack cunning; those who seem witty may not always win.
