Features: A male opera singer at the height of his career, who has a happy and peaceful family. Fate brings him across a beautiful and sorrowful young woman, and an extramarital affair, like those familiar to people, burns fiercely. After paying a bitter price, he leaves his past marriage behind, yet finds himself lost and bewildered. The young woman, under the threat of her husband, withers day by day in agony. When she finally breaks free from the shackles of her unhappy marriage and regains her freedom, she is changed by an unbearable sense of emptiness, altering her predetermined path. The man who once brought her passion has now returned to his former wife, his heart cold. Wang Da Jin expresses this view openly in his novel—desire is not only omnipresent but also dominates human existence. And the distortion and disillusionment of desire completely reshape the appearance of life, even the nature of humanity. This book is a contemporary emotional novel by the renowned author Wang Da Jin. Through the emotional experiences and ups and downs in the life of a performer of the arts, it portrays the rich inner world of urban dwellers and reveals the depth and diversity of human nature.
