Mr. Pan is a collection of short stories written by Xiang Meili, an American woman writer. It is based on her life in Shanghai from 1935 to 1939. It contains 28 articles, all of which have been published in the new Yorker magazine. The protagonist, Mr. Pan, takes Xiang Meili's familiar poet Shao Xunmei as the prototype, and the content of the novel also takes Shao Xunmei and the life experiences of the surrounding characters as the material. These novels are valuable materials for us to understand the life in Shanghai in the 1930s. There are not only for the sake of children, anecdotes of Mr. Zhou and prisoners, Shanghai refugees and Yang Shupu, which reflect the daily family life, but also jewelry box, cousin Martha and interesting stories of mother-in-law, which focus on Chinese women's issues, as well as Chinese and muse, returnees and jade, which show the fusion and conflict of Chinese and foreign cultures Cui and gentlemen, etc. Xiang Meili writes about people. In a few words, she can outline characters and write things. She can always grasp the essence of things keenly. The most valuable thing is that there is no affectation, from which you can see a common heart of compassion. The significance of these novels lies in timely reporting to foreign readers all kinds of people and events in the ancient oriental countries at that time, and also making us understand the war disaster that Shanghai suffered and the wartime life of its citizens.
