N2  - "老殘遊記" by E Liu is a novel written between 1903 and 1904. Through the travels of Lao Can, a wandering physician, the story exposes the decay of late Qing China—from the rise of the Boxers to the crumbling Yellow River control system. Disguising his own views through his hero, Liu crafts a social satire that reveals bureaucratic incompetence and hypocrisy. Blending lyrical landscape descriptions with detective plots and philosophical discussions, the novel presents an allegorical vision of China's problems and potential solutions.
