About This Novel
This book selects Lao She's most representative short and medium stories, such as "Crescent Moon", "My Life", "The Soul-Breaking Gun", "The Man Who Never Lies", etc. "Crescent Moon" describes the tragic life experiences of two generations of prostitutes, mother and daughter, and deeply reflects the living conditions of China's urban poor in the first half of the 20th century. The tragedy of a small family and a small person reflects the vicissitudes and pathos of a period of history. "My Life" describes the troubled life of an ordinary patrolman in the old days. It is also Lao She's first masterpiece of the golden period of creation, and it has a particularly progressive atmosphere that stands out from the times. "The Soul-Breaking Gun" reflects the helplessness and loneliness of ordinary people in the great historical changes through the frustrated situation of an old escort. The short page is full of desolation and sadness, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

Lao She is a master of writing about people in the market, and his works provide spiritual nourishment for contemporary literature. "My Life" has some similar spiritual connotations with "Living" and "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences".

A woman's first-person perspective, selling her body in exchange for food. It's too difficult. The more I struggle, the more desperate I become. I can't bear to read about this unfortunate life.

Lao Fan will never close his eyes until he dies, right?
The president of the student union usually has a couple of times, but Song Bogong said that Mr. Meng didn't even have a chance. Even after graduation, everyone helped him write papers. What's even more funny is that he thought M and N were interchangeable.
When Meng Zhichen was mentioned, Song Bogong's words came. He had to think about it at first, but he couldn't be anxious. After all, Song Bogong was like this. He had to say one thing completely.
He was surprised when he saw Uncle Song coming to see the cherry blossoms. He thought there was something wrong with his eyes. After confirming, he actually took Uncle Song to tell him a story. After all, the story of the lovely Uncle Song was very interesting, even more interesting than the cherry blossoms.
It should be said that Lao She's novels are basically descriptions of the bottom class of the old society. Personally, I always feel that Lao She's teahouse is first-class and higher than novels. The first half of Longxugou is as exciting as the teahouse. Lao She was born into poverty, so he probably has a better understanding of the hardships faced by people at the bottom of society.
