"The Fall of the Red Chamber," as Gao Yang himself said, tells the story of "Cao Xueqin," a historical novel that depicts the rise and fall of the Cao and Li families from opulent mansions and luxurious lives to financial ruin and eventual exile back to the capital. "Autumn in Maoling" is the second book. The decline of the Li Xun family is irreversible, leading to a dreamlike prosperity turning into a broken home and scattered family. This book, paired with "Spring in Muling," captures the private emotions of each character in the Li family, portraying the harsh realities of the world.
