Features: "After Drinking" is Ling Shuhua's breakthrough work and one of her representative works. After reading "After Drinking" and "Embroidered Pillow," which she published in Modern Commentary, Lu Xun commented on her: "She is generally very cautious, describing the gentle women in old families to an appropriate extent. Even when there are works that deviate from the norm, it is because she was occasionally influenced by the wind of literary and wine culture, and ultimately returned to her original path. This is good—it allows us to see and depict characters who are entirely different from what we do, that is, a corner of the world, the essence of high-born and noble families."
