Ye Sifen Talks About Jin Ping Mei (all 3 Volumes)
by Ye Sifen
About This Novel
The exposure of the world and the depiction of human nature in "Jin Ping Mei" are more impactful and lasting than its erotic descriptions. In the eyes of the interpreter Ye Sifen, this is not a "pornographic book" or a "banned book" as people usually think of it, but a book that describes daily life from the perspective of ordinary people. It writes about the daily necessities of the Chaimi couple, their love, hate, sorrow, greed, anger, stupidity, life and death. Here, you can see the daily life of a wealthy family along the canal in the middle and late Ming Dynasty; see how Pan Jinlian struggled to seek a better future; see Ximen Qing's advances and retreats in officialdom, shopping malls, and even entertainment venues; see every detail of the lives of officials, businessmen, prostitutes, and nuns of that era, as well as the ridiculousness, horror, and pity of people in such daily life; see the world and the human heart that have not changed for thousands of years.

Whether it's a murderer, a swindler, or a swindler, as long as you appreciate me, you can work for him. From this point of view, what the Chinese people lack most is appreciation, from despising women to all children who are not born to the legitimate wife. From birth to death, most people hear and come into contact with words that belittle themselves, hurt themselves, insult themselves, exclude themselves and despise themselves. Suddenly, in a hot-blooded age, if someone appreciates you, thinks highly of you, and values you, what a big contrast it is. Can you not work hard for it? This is still the case in modern times.
You can't help others, you can't help yourself. It's really a bad world with five turbidities. Who can save himself alone? Why not plunge into this big dye vat
