But her life is also full of hardships, and marriage and love are a mess. They all go to different destinations in life. The entanglement of love, the disputes and distortions of human nature. It is the author's abbreviation and record of the life of that era, and it is also the characteristic of that era. The novel tells this kind of bizarre story.
