Great Harmony
4.From the ideal society of "the Great Harmony and Minor Prosperity", the educational philosophy encapsulated in the "Three Character Classic", the emotions of bidding farewell to a close friend in "Farewell to Yuan Er", the rousing passions of "An Ode to Integrity", the vivid characterisation of "The Water Margin", the evil men and gallant heroes of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"; to the father-son bond portrayed in "The View of His Back", the conflicts of heroic men and women in "A Letter of Farewell to My Wife", the poignant comedy of a nation's sorrow in "The Story of Ah Q"; these works portray different societiesand sentiments using different styles and different angles, but they are all equally riveting.
