Zhang Henshui's Work Series: Lively and Rich
About This Novel
Starting from the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Henshui shifted his creative focus from romance to social criticism, and his writing style became increasingly heavy and sharp. "Intoxication" is a representative work of this period. In 1945, the National Government made Chongqing its capital. A group of drunken and dreamy dead gathered here. Everyone wants to get rich overnight. Small businessmen, bankers, courtesans, civil servants, old ladies, and even coolie workers are all involved in the "golden trend" caused by inflation. In the context of national speculation, human nature is distorted, and emotions and bodies become the weights of speculation and gambling. Tian Peizhi, a high-spirited and beautiful female student, was deceived and abducted by her lover and fell into a world of flowers. In the end, she couldn't stand the temptation and sank. Taking the history of her depravity as the main line, "Falling Out" tells a big story about people's mentality that took place in this era. It reproduces the crazy reality that on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the entire rear society was obsessed with sex and it was difficult to make money for the country.
