Introduction
Fortress Besieged，or Wei-ch’eng，first seriahzed in Literary Renaissance(Wen-i fu-hsing)and published in book form in l947，has been acclaimed as“one of modern China’Stwo best novels，” or her"greatest novel;" it has been the subiect of two doctoral dissertatons and one master's thesis and various scholarly papers in English and Chinese． Among differing views on the merits of the novel，C．T．Hsia has highly praised the novel's comic exuberance and satire； Dennis Hu，its linguistic manipulation；Theodore Huters，its relationship to modern Chinese letters；and Mai Ping—k’un has written favorably on both Ch'ien's -essays and his fiction．What each critic has stressed is one aspect of the novel's multifaceted brilliance, and it is the intent of this introduction to discuss the novel as artistic whole．
On November21，1910，Ch'ien Chung—shu,the author of Fortress Besieged，was born into a literary famiyin Wuhsi，Kiangsu province．His father Ch’ien Chi—po(1887—1957)was a renowned literary historian and university professor．Ch’ien was a precocious child，noted for his photographic memory and brilliance in writing Chinese verse and prose．Upon graduation from grade school，he attended St.John’s University Affiliated High Schools in Soochow and Wuhsi．In high school，Ch’ien excelled in English．When he sat for the matriculation examination of the prestigious Tsing—hua University,it was said that he scored very poorly in mathematics but did so well in English and Chinese composition that he passed the examination with some éclat．
At Tsing-hua，Ch’ien was known as an arrogant young man，who cut lectures and kept much to himself，Among his few intimate friends was Achilles Fang，the"word wizard"(as Marianne Moore Called him)，who was then a student in the department of philosophy．There Ch’ien also met his future wife Yang Chiang．After graduating from Tsing-hua in 1933，he accepted a teaching appointment at Kuang—hua University in Shanghai．

Shen-ming pressed down his pince-nez, cleared his throat, and said, "Mr.
Fang, what was it you were asking me that time?"
"When?" asked Hung-chien, bewildered.
"Before Miss Su came. "--Hung-chien could not recall--" It seems you were
asking me what philosophical questions I was studying, weren't you?" To this usual question, Ch'u Shen-ming had a pat answer. Since Miss Su had not yet arrived, he had waited until now to show off.
"Oh, yes, yes."
"Strictly speaking, your statement has a slight fallacy. When a philosopher
encounters a question, his first step is to study the question. Is it a question or not? If it's not, then it's a pseudo-question which needn't and can't be solved. If it is a question, his second step is to study the solution. Is the traditional solution correct or should it be revised? You probably meant to ask not what question am I studying, but what question am I studying the solution of."
Fang Hung-chien was astounded, Tung Hsieh-ch'ǖan was bored, and Miss Su was confused. "Marvelous!" exclaimed Hsin-mei. "A truly thorough analysis! That's wonderful, wonderful! Hung-chien, you've studied philosophy, but you should be quite willing to take a back seat today. After such an excellent discussion, we should all have a glass."
At Hsin-mei's insistence Hung-chien reluctantly took a couple of swallows,
saying, "Hsin-mei, I just muddled my way through a year in the philosophy department by reading a few assigned reference books. Before Mr. Ch'u I can only humbly ask for instruction."
Ch'u Shen-ming said, "I'm unworthy! From what you say, Mr. Fang, it
seems you were taking the individual as a unit in reading philosophical works. That is only studying philosophers. At best it's studying the history of philosophy, not philosophy itself. At most such a person could be a philosophy professor, but never a philosopher. I like using my own mind, not othe
