Zhao Ziyue (Chinese: 趙子曰, "Confucius-saith Zhao") is a 1927 Chinese-language novel by Lao She. The story, his second novel, like the first The Philosophy of Old Zhang, is set among students in Beijing following the May Fourth Incident. However the tone of the book is less sympathetic to students, showing the pretentiously named title character and his circle as unprincipled and shallow rather than as victims.[1]

Unlike the previous novel, where students are shown as victims, the students in this work are depicted as lacking in substance."
