The latter rain/晚雨

The book tells the story of the protagonist Tianjian who, after robbing and killing the new county magistrate on his way to his new post, had the idea of returning to the mainstream social order. However, as a county magistrate, Tianjian was not only unable to freely exercise his political ambition to benefit the people, but he also did not even have the right to love independently. The novel symbolically reveals the alienated fate that people cannot escape in the old traditional order, and metaphorically represents the tragic survival dilemma of human beings who have nowhere to obtain freedom.

本书内容讲述: 主人公天鉴在劫杀赴任途中的新县令后, 却萌生了张冠李戴、回归主流社会秩序的念头。但做了县令的天鉴, 不仅无法自由施展为民造福的政治抱负, 甚至连独立自主的爱情权利也没有得到。小说象征性地揭示了人在旧的传统秩序中无法摆脱的异化命运, 隐喻了人类无处获得自由的悲剧性生存困境。
