Features: Ziye depicts the social phenomena of the early 1930s, with the protagonist, the national capitalist Wu Sufen, as its central figure, painting a broad social panorama. It not only portrays the ruthless struggle in the stock market where the strong prey on the weak, the tough struggles of small and medium-sized national industries, the vile actions of various landlords, and the decadent and dissolute lives of the bourgeoisie, but also includes scenes such as workers' strikes and peasant uprisings. Ziye presents to us a tragedy of the fate of national industrial capital in a capitalist society.
