About This Novel
This book includes works such as "The Strange Injustice of Nine Lives", "Secrets of Getting Rich", "The Confusing World", "Recent History of Sordid Society" and "Living Hell". The works are all based on serializations in Shanghai's "Nanfang Daily", "Xinbao" and other publications, retaining the original illustrations and deleting other appendices. They are the culmination of Wu Jianren's social novels. "Nine Lives" tells the story of two families who gradually became enemies due to "feng shui" problems during the Yongzheng period. "Secrets of Wealth" was a masterpiece of the anti-comprador class at that time, and the character it wrote was the most hated character by Wu Jianren. "The Confused World" is a condemnation novel that mainly reflects the dark reality of officialdom in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions during the late Qing Dynasty.
