Features: The author of this book believes that the study of Lu Shige's novels is an inevitable deepening of modern literature research. As some scholars have pointed out: the study of modern Shanghai fiction cannot overlook the group of writers in Jiangsu and the academic and cultural trends of Jiangsu since the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is necessary to study Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang as an integrated whole. This is not only true for the study of regional literature in Shanghai but also for the entire study of modern fiction. Although modern fiction is only a fleeting moment in the 2,000-year history of Chinese fiction in terms of time, its quantity is almost equal to that of the previous 2,000 years. Therefore, studying only a few representative modern writers cannot fully reflect the overall picture of modern fiction, nor can it provide a relatively objective and comprehensive understanding of modern fiction. This book will attempt to explore some aspects, specifically taking Lu Shige's novels as the specific research object. Through the study of the author and his literary texts, it seeks to uncover the imprint of national psychology left in his works and the author's inner journey, thereby gaining insight into the old Shanghai of the "Ten Miles of Brocade" and the old China, further exploring the development process of modern fiction.
