Features: This book tells the stories of people in Taipei. Among them are the former scions of noble families, as well as humble ordinary citizens. In a world that has undergone tremendous changes, they endure the whims of fate, living with a sense of weight, authenticity, and vitality. Bai Xianyong's work is deeply influenced by Dream of the Red Chamber. His laments over the impermanence of life and his reflections on the passing of youth are written with a tone of compassion. His perspective extends beyond individual fates, projecting onto the people of a society and an era. This has made his works timeless and continuously reprinted. The book has even been selected as one of the "Top 100 Most Influential Chinese Novels of the 20th Century" by Asia Weekly.
