About This Novel

About the edition: Based on the 1952 Chenguang Publishing Company edition, the punctuation and wording are revised according to the habits of modern readers. While retaining the original meaning, it is as close to the present as possible, eliminating unnecessary sense of time, and presenting the timeless charm of Lao She. Text part: Lao Li, a young intellectual, is dissatisfied with the vulgarity and perfunctoriness of his marriage and workplace. He wants to escape but lacks the courage. He is surrounded by people who are confused and have no dreams: the officious big brother, the young but evil office guy, the henpecked and incompetent director, the domineering wife of the director, the country wives who were infected by the vulgar disease, the ridiculous giant baby "revolutionary"... He struggled in the vulgar environment, sometimes compromising, sometimes struggling. When a friend is in trouble, he sacrifices his status and money to rescue him, and in the process sees through the depravity and hopelessness of those around him. He was moved by the bravery and righteousness of a social worker who was usually looked down upon, and made him make up his mind to leave the seemingly colorful Peiping and the stable iron rice bowl, and return to rural life and a simple family.
