Zhao, Jingshen. Preface. [Twain, Mark]. Tangmu Shaye. Make Tuwen zhu ; Yue Qi yi. [ID D29491].
Zhao felt that to regard Twain as a mere writer of humorous fiction was to do him an injustice, because 'there are tears in his humor'. In Twain's works, 'humor is merely an adjunct' and 'satire is more important'. 'Calling Twain a humorous American novelist is not as appropriate as calling him a social novelist ; he was also a pioneer in America of realism in writing'. He praised Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as two 'ever-shining' characters from among the best children's books and provided a bibliography of 29 works by Twain.
