It is an action-packed tale of a young woman who takes revenge for her brother, Ma Yongzhen, a gangster and performing strongman, who has been murdered by a rival gang in China's most cosmopolitan city, Shanghai. After publication of the book in 1923, the character of Ma Suzhen appeared on stage, and subsequently in a film made by the Mingxing Film Company. The book version translated here, displays a delightful combination of the xia and popular "Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies" genres, with additional elements of Gong'an "court case" fiction. The translation is followed by an essay that explores the background to the legend of Ma Suzhen--a fictional figure, whose exhilarating escapades reflect some of the new possibilities and freedoms available to women following the founding of the Chinese Republic. 001441523 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 18, 2022). 001441523 651_0 $$aShanghai (China)$$vFiction. 001441523 655_7 $$aFiction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423787 001441523 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441523 7001_ $$aBevan, Paul,$$cPh.
