Five Virtues in Officialdom/五子登科 [Chinese]

By 张恨水

"""Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies School"" & Representative Bestsellers of Republican China

鸳鸯蝴蝶派代表作品

This satirical masterpiece exposes postwar corruption through a ""property-receiving officer""'s exploits. The title ironically subverts the Confucian ideal of ""Five Successes"", reframing them as plunder targets: houses, cars, gold, cash, and women.

《五子登科》是张恨水1947年创作的社会讽刺小说，书名反用传统""五子登科""的吉祥寓意，揭露抗战胜利后国民党接收大员的腐败乱象。小说以南京、上海为背景，通过某接收专员""劫收""五套房产的荒诞经历，勾勒出一幅""胜利灾难""的浮世绘。
