Features: This book describes the diverse lives of people from all walks of life in Beijing before the July 7th Incident with a humorous and biting pen. Some indulged in a carefree life of singing, dancing, eating, and drinking; others engaged in deceit and betrayal; some struggled and fought for wealth; and others harbored hatred and bravely resisted. It reflects how the Japanese invaders' advance plunged the ancient city of Beijing into a deep abyss. With tigers and wolves at their sides, a great disaster was looming, and many Beijingers faced the difficult choice of becoming slaves of a conquered nation, fleeing to escape death, or fighting to the death.
