About This Novel
The protagonist Yelang is one of Jia Pingwa's flesh-and-blood but sympathetic characters. He did not have a noble background, but came to Xijing alone to make a living with his drive for constant pursuit. At the beginning of the novel, it is written that Yelang met and followed Zhu Yihe through Nanding Mountain, but this experience soon disappeared when Zhu Yihe collapsed. Frustrated in his career, Yelang had no choice but to focus on love. He likes the elegant-minded Yu Bai, but he is an ordinary person. The difference in status and the troubles of fatalism make Yelang miserable. He can only get the comfort of love from Yan Ming, who has the same status as him and is beautiful. A soul that is unwilling to be at the mercy of fate finally returns to its "original position" under the torture of the world. This is the tragedy of Yelang and the tragedy of life. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly in a person's life. In the process of struggling, one always has to face choices of one kind or another. Left or right? People are always in such a contradiction, because no matter what they choose, it means betrayal or giving up on something else. It is a self-evident truth to choose the good and give up the bad, but in real life, there are some things that we have no way of distinguishing between true and false and good or bad, and Yelang's choice in love is exactly like this.
