Overview: 'The Oil Vendor and the Queen of Flowers' is one of the most famous short stories written by Feng Menglong (1574-1645), the master of late-Ming vernacular fiction. It narrates the vicissitudes of the beautiful Yaoqin and the oil peddler Qin Zhong. During the Jurchen invasion of China in 1126, the capital Kaifeng is besieged by the barbarians. Yaoqin and her parents are forced to leave the city, following the crowd of refugees. But a troop of marauding imperial soldiers attacks and robs them. In the ensuing chaos she loses sight of her parents and roams about the country alone, until an old neighbour of hers, Bu Qiao, finds her and tells her that he knows the whereabouts of her parents. Yet this is just the beginning of Yaoqin's trials and suffering.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.
