Summary:In a lecture given at Peking University, the author highlighted several key questions addressed in this book： can a genre cross cultures？ If so, in its transcultural journey into various countries, would its basic cultural and social values be lost or kept？ How can this genre retain its original status of the political novel？ How can it interact with local genres？ Or, in other words, how can it be localized？ By criticizing the tendency to look down on the political novel as something that serves politics in mainstream academia （especially Western academia）, Yeh hopes to reexamine the relationship between politics and literature. Can political discourse encourage the development of new cultures and new literature？ Yeh believes the answer to be yes.
