Fortress Besieged is a novel by Qian Zhongshu and a satirical novel with unique style in the history of modern literature in China. Known as the "new scholar".

The book Fortress Besieged was written by the miser of Qian Zhongshu. The novel has no clear story clues, but some trivial plots pieced together by the author's trivial knowledge and experience. Generally speaking, a book with trivial plots must have excellent language skills if it wants to be a successful work.

Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged really applied language to the highest level. Therefore, reading Fortress Besieged can't just focus on the plot and ignore the language like reading ordinary novels. In that case, Fortress Besieged will lose its meaning of existence. The punch line in Fortress Besieged is the most successful part of this novel, and it is also the most admirable part.
