Features: This book is Guo Baochang's second long reflecting the life of "" disciples after "Da Zhai Men." It depicts the joys and sorrows of a wealthy young man in Beijing in the 1930s. After graduating from university, he refuses to inherit his family's business and instead chooses to "go to the sea" by joining a troupe in the southern part of the city to learn xiangsheng (comic dialogue). The work maintains Guo Baochang's writing style, with a dramatic plot, characters facing many twists and turns in their fates, and a distinctive Beijing dialect.
