Cat Country (Mao Cheng Ji/猫城记), Chinese edition.
The satirical novel by the famous Beijing writer and playwright author Lao She was first published in 1933. A traveler from China lands his spaceship on Mars and finds himself in a land of cat-like people. A piece of world literature, more of a good satirical novel than a great science fiction novel; however this work manages to satirize the situation of a corrupt and dying China in the 1930s.
