Encounter Beauty

About This Novel
"Meeting Beauty" is the final work of the "Shanghai Trilogy", a series of novels by the famous writer Ye Yonglie. The author considers it "the 'most beautiful' part of the trilogy." In the 1930s and 1940s, the Japanese invaded China, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought, the old and the new alternated, and social unrest... Shanghai became an "isolated island" with Japanese troops, traitors, and spies running rampant; Wenzhou also fell under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders. Fang Meilian and Fang Lilian, two sisters from a well-known family, accidentally entered a brothel in Shanghai and the other became a spy in Wenzhou. They were caught up in the tide of the times and experienced ups and downs. But they did not follow the crowd, but insisted on their own ethics and beliefs, dealing with various forces, and performing scenes of human life dramas that were evocative, sad or happy amidst the hatred and entanglements between family and country. The descriptions of the unique humanities, history, customs and customs of Shanghai, Wenzhou and other places make this book more colorful and have a long aftertaste.
