Đào Vân Hạc, a gifted young scholar, carries his tent and folding cot to the capital to sit the imperial examinations, hoping to bring honour to his family. Ngô Tất Tố recreates the world of the last Confucian examinations in Vietnam: the cramming, the crowded lodgings, the packed examination grounds, the rigid rules and the absurdities that surrounded them. A reportage novel first serialised in the newspaper Thời Vụ in 1939.
