Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What critique does the author deliver against a corrupt human world through the voices of ghosts and foxes?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read these strange and beguiling tales, I felt a shudder at the truth that people are far more frightening and cruel than any monster. Within fantastical narratives where ghosts and humans share love and cross the boundary of death, Pu Songling delivers a scathing satire of corrupt officials and a hypocritical age. It is a masterpiece of Eastern fantasy, sparkling with ingenious imagination.
