Features: The plots in Yu Dafu's novels are relatively (weakened), while the emotional expression is intensified. He believed that "the expression in fiction lies in emotions, and everything is concrete description. Therefore, in fiction, it is forbidden to make abstract and empty arguments, because once the reader's rationality is activated, it easily reduces emotions." His novels are sincere and emotionally revealing, moving readers deeply. He often uses heartfelt brushstrokes to guide readers into the depths of experience. However, sometimes emotions lose control of their scale, becoming overly detailed and dulling the overall artistic effect. Yu Dafu's novels are always in a state of flux. Starting from the suffering of sex against morality, his novels often extend the suffering of sex to the suffering of life, society, and the times. Thus, the humiliation of the nation, the awareness of the tragic plight of the homeland, and the humble mentality of citizens in a weak country are often subtly revealed.
