FreeShifu, You'll Do Anything For a Laugh.
Nobel Prize winner Moyan's Novel.
The term 'shifu' is a generic and generally respectful term for skilled
workers and the like; widely used, it has, in a sense, replaced other
terms, such as “comrade.”It is common in China to use kinship or
professional forms of address in preference to given names.
The Shen Garden in the story of that title, which was located in the
southern city of Shaoxing over a millennium ago, is famous as a metaphor
for encounters between once married couples. It is where the Southern
Song poet Lu You is said to have met Tang Wan, whom his parents had
forced him to divorce.
