metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Luosha Haishi 羅殺海市 (Lz 132) is a very emblematic tale of Pu Songling’s
  (蒲松齡, 1640–1715), as it involves emblematic themes of Liaozhai zhiyi (聊齋誌異): a critical
  view of society, an adventure into enchanted lands, and a complex relationship to
  an independent, powerful woman. The tale tells about the journey of a man who, after
  having been lost at sea, visits two imaginary worlds. Luosha Haishi reveals its originality
  when comparing both these places. The first one, the Country of Rakshasas, is a state in
  which physical appearance determines one’s social status. This society is a satirical portrayal
  mirroring Pu’s vision of Qing China officialdom. Conversely, the City of the Sea, the
  character’s second place of stay, is a utopian undersea place where the character knows
  immediate success. Luosha Haishi thus makes the bitter statement of the impossibility
  to access glory and richness when one does not wish to hide behind appearances, while
  for it to occur it would require an ideal world that exists only in imagination.
