Features: Kang Suzhen, a famous courtesan who gained prominence across much of China in the 1930s and 1940s, recounts her personal experiences, depicting the various "rules" and evils of brothels in the old society. The book also boldly exposes and passionately condemns the debauchery and misconduct of high-ranking military and political figures, such as Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang, among others. This rare and truthful report provides an invaluable historical record for understanding the horrors of the old, evil society. The protagonist, Kang Suzhen, was forced into a brothel at the age of 13 and became a virgin courtesan. Later, in brothels across Chengdu, Baoji, and Lanzhou, she rose from an ordinary courtesan to become a renowned "red girl," serving not only a wide range of society members but also Nationalist generals, including Hu Zongnan,'s trusted disciple, and the "Killing Demon of Qinghai"—Ma Bufang.
