Unlike the more thematically social and political fiction of the May Fourth movement, these xiaopin wen, or modern essays, address their readers with a unique intimacy, adopting a highly "personal" voice that is quietly meditative, lyrical, discreet, and full of wit and melancholy. Tam King-fai supplies critical literary and historical background on the relationship between xiaopin wen and the May Fourth movement, and with and commentary he explicates the form's lyric aestheticism.Chinese essaysTranslations into EnglishChinese essays895.14008Tam King-faiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796023403321A garden of one's own3712649UNINA
