Qian Zhongshu's most famous satirical novel was Fortress Besieged. This was a novel set in modern China.

Lu Xun and Qian Zhongshu were both representatives of modern Chinese literature, and their works had high literary value and historical significance. Although the two of them did not directly compare each other, one could feel the different satirical humor styles in their works. Lu Xun's works mostly focused on social reality and human weakness. His satirical humor style was more direct and profound. He often used vivid metaphor and humorous language to reveal the dark side of society and the ugliness of human nature. For example, in A Madman's Diary, he used the term " man-eating monster " to describe the social reality at that time. In The True Story of Ah Q, he used the term " people kicked by a donkey " to describe those who were oppressed by society. Qian Zhongshu's works focused on culture, history, and philosophy. His satirical humor style was more subtle and profound, often revealing the truth through metaphor and symbolism. For example, in Fortress Besieged, he used the word "besieged" to describe China's feudal system. In Old Wang, he used the word "old king selling melons" to describe people's self-interest and selfishness. Lu Xun's satirical humor style was more direct and profound. Qian Zhongshu's satirical humor style was more subtle and profound. Both of their works have high literary value, which is worthy of our in-depth reading and appreciation.
Fortress Besieged was one of Qian Zhongshu's representative works. It was a typical satirical novel. The novel was set in a small town named "Besieged City". Through the description of the intelligentsia in the town and the problems they faced, it profoundly revealed the predicament and contradictions of the intelligentsia in modern society. Most of the intellectual characters in the novel had high academic qualifications and specialized knowledge. They were often unable to adapt to the reality of society and the needs of ordinary people. They lived a comfortable life in the small town, but they could not escape the contradictions and anxiety in their hearts. They were constantly pursuing higher academic qualifications and better career opportunities, but in reality, they were hitting a wall everywhere. The novel satirized those who pursued academic qualifications and career success in modern society, as well as those who blindly pursued material things in pursuit of so-called "success". The small town in the novel was also described as very distinctive, forming a sharp contrast between the world inside and outside the siege. The small town inside the besieged city was full of traditional culture, while outside the besieged city was a modern city. The two completely different environments made the intellectual in the novel feel very confused and contradictory. The novel also revealed the pressure and predicament of these ordinary people through the description of the people in the town, thus satirizing the hypocrisy and indifference of modern society. Fortress Besieged is a novel that profoundly reveals the predicament and contradictions of the intellectual in modern society. Through the description of the town and the intellectual, it deeply reflects the pressure and contradictions of people's lives in modern society.
I'm sorry, I don't know if Qian Zhongshu has any novels, and I don't have any information about his works being popular with foreigners.
The Ministry of Central Affairs of the Han Dynasty referred to the Ministry of Central Affairs of the Han Dynasty. It was one of the highest institutions of the central government in ancient China. The Ministry of Central Affairs was responsible for handling the emperor's government affairs, issuing the emperor's edict and the central government's decrees. It originated from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was originally called the Book of History and was held by eunuchs. Later, Cao Cao set up a secretary order at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was held by scholars and called Zhongshu Jian. During the Cao Wei period, the Director of the Ministry of State Affairs replaced the authority of the Minister of State and became the personal office of the emperor. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Ministry of Central Affairs became the central government of the country and was one of the highest government agencies in the central government. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the name of the Ministry of Central Affairs was abolished. In general, the Han Dynasty's Ministry of Central Affairs was an important government agency, responsible for handling the emperor's government affairs and issuing decrees.
In the Han Dynasty, the Ministry of Central Affairs was an official position. It was originally a eunuch organization that belonged to the internal court. It was responsible for organizing the library files in the palace in the emperor's office. Due to the convenience of the work, the Hall of Governmental Affairs could often have the opportunity to interact with the Emperor, so its role in the internal court gradually became more important. However, the Ministry of Central Affairs was still one of the eunuchs in the Han Dynasty, and the people employed were not ordinary civil officials. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was no longer limited to eunuchs. It began to use scholars and developed into a research institution that could discuss policies. During the Cao Wei period, the establishment of the Ministry of Central Affairs was regarded as a new measure to strengthen the central power. The senior official of the director of the book was called the director of the book, and the secondary official was called the director of the book. In general, the Han Dynasty Zhongshu was an official position responsible for sorting out the archives of the palace and having opportunities to contact the emperor.
Qian Zhongshu's academic works were not all humorous. Although some of his papers and works had some interesting views and humorous language expressions, not all of the content was suitable to be created as novels or humorous works. Qian Zhongshu was a famous scholar and he had outstanding achievements in literature, history, philosophy and other fields. His academic works were usually rigorous academic papers that involved many complex concepts and arguments that required in-depth research and thinking to understand. Although there were some humorous expressions in Qian Zhongshu's works, these expressions were often used in specific academic context and were not applicable in all situations. In addition, Qian Zhongshu's academic works also involved many important research fields and problems. His research value was higher than his sense of humor. Therefore, although some of Qian Zhongshu's works had humorous elements, his academic achievements and research field required his professional knowledge and rigorous attitude more than humorous language.
