Features: Zhang Ailing exists as an outstanding writer in the history of modern Chinese literature, rather than as a strange or eccentric figure. Perhaps she will not only belong to the history of modern literature. Imagine decades or even centuries from now, she might occupy a stable position in the history of Chinese literature, much like Li Qingzhao, whom she admired. And we know that by then, many of the modern writers we are familiar with today will likely be forgotten. This book mainly tells the stories of Gao Yabai composing lyrics wildly, Wang Liansheng getting drunk and raging, Li Zhengcheng being cruel and, being shocked by the truth and seeking revenge, getting married out of hatred, using flowers to treat poverty, being sympathetic to those who are sick, forming a match against all odds with extraordinary love, relying on a good doctor's miraculous power, and suffering cruel punishment while seeking a teacher, borrowing money from a rich man, and privately visiting a brothel.
