"The most appropriate materials for detective fiction ... are famous detectives, grand mansions,
suspicious residents, bloody murders, puzzling situation, earth-shattering scheme...
Made up things are even better. The point is to enjoy the pleasure in the world of reasoning."

Xiaoqing Cheng

Xiaoqing Cheng [1893-1976] is considered the Grand Master of XXth-century Chinese detective fiction; before World War I,
he translated Arthur Conan Doyle's tales of Sherlock Holmes into classical Chinese and then into vernacular Chinese.
Cheng's two characters Huo Sang & Bao Lang lived in a spacious apartment on Aiwen Road in 1920s & 1930s Shanghai,
and the tales were a combination of Holmesian deduction and the conventions of traditional (often sensationalist) Chinese fiction.

Wong 8 translated stories including: "A Summer Night's Tragedy"; "At The Ball"; "Cat's-Eye" featuring master thief The South-China Swallow; "The Examination Paper"; "The Odd Tenant"; "On The Huangpu"; "The Other Photograph"; and "The Shoe" Univ of Hawai'i Press 8¼x5½ pb [11/2006] out of print/used Univ of Hawai'i Press 8½x5½ hardcover [11/2006] for $57.00 publisher's book page |
