Evaluation of Besieged City

Fortress Besieged shows the subtle observation of the world and the superb art of psychological description. The author portrays Su, a talented woman, as a reserved and melodramatic woman with a small family and jade style, with a kind of talent hidden behind her. However, the analysis of Fang Hung-chien's complex personality and mentality, which is clever and timid, knowing but useless, is extremely tortuous and incisive. The description of Fortress Besieged runs through the artistic conception of satirical comedy from beginning to end. The basic plot of the novel revolves around Fang Hung-chien, and many characters and scenes in the novel are presented from a square perspective. Fang's attitude of observing people and the world and the satirical style of the author behind him are intertwined, which makes the satirical technique of Fortress Besieged unique.
