Fong Mong-long, who lived at the beginning of the seventeenth century, was a passionate collector of popular tales. Among the numerous love stories he collected, Le vendeur d'huile... (The Oil Merchant...) is among the most touching. The coherence of the tale, the humanity of its characters, the appeal of the episodes, and the vivacity of the style make this text a small masterpiece.
