Features: Smoky Willow in Cold is the second book in his series of folk novels Fierce Winds and Floating Flowers Alley, and also a sequel to Fate Born of Sin. In his folk novels, the author uses a profound foundation in life, keen observation, and fervent empathy to depict the vast lands of China being occupied by Japanese invaders in the 1930s, where the people were reduced to the status of slaves, living a life worse than beasts. Among this group, the most tragic and lowly were the prostitutes. In exposing this dark period, the author fiercely condemns the Japanese who unleashed their animalistic nature, traitors who sought personal gain by collaborating with the invaders, and merchants who betrayed their own to serve the enemy, all of whom embodied ugly souls.
