Features: Eileen Chang 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 the Li Qingzhao she admired. And we know that at that time, many of the modern writers we are familiar with today will likely be forgotten. This book primarily tells the story of Gao Yabai composing lyrics wildly, Wang Lian throwing coins to the ground in anger, Li Chenrui being cruel but submitting to punishment, being shocked by the truth and driven by hatred to marry, seeking ways to alleviate poverty in the flower district, being sympathetic to those who are sick and create a scene, forming an extraordinary couple with divine power relying on a good doctor, and suffering cruel punishment while seeking a teacher but being forced to borrow money from a rich man to visit brothels.
