Deep Night·part 1 (zhang Henshui's Classic Novel)
About This Novel
"Deep Night" is one of Zhang Henshui's best novels. It was Zhang Henshui's work at the peak of his creative period. By describing the emotional entanglement between the coachman Dingjihe and the singing queen Yuerong, the plot is twists and turns and exciting; it explores human nature deeply and thoroughly; and the psychological portrayal of the hero and heroine is particularly delicate. "Deep Night" was originally the title of a piece of "Yu Ji Dances with the Sword" in the opera "Farewell My Concubine". Zhang Henshui ingeniously integrated this erhu music throughout the novel, becoming a link between the joys and sorrows of the male and female protagonists and a clue to the development of the plot. Not only do most of the scenes in the novel take place in the deep night, but the tone of the novel is dark, cold and desolate. "Dark Night" symbolizes the tragic fate of Ding Erhe and Wang Yuerong, reveals the cold darkness of society, and tries its best to expose the evils of prostitution, gambling, eating, drinking and entertainment at all levels of society. The erotic stories about love, anger, greed, and pleasure between men and women are particularly delicate in their writing. The writing and emotion complement each other, the plot is extremely intense and lively, and the characters are all colorful. Zhang Henshui (May 18, 1895 - February 15, 1967), whose original name was Xinyuan, Henshui was his pen name, which was taken from the poem "Meeting Happily" written by Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which means "I will grow up in life and hate the water in the east". Zhang Henshui is a famous chapter novelist and a representative writer of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School. He is honored as the first "master of chapter novels" and "master of popular literature" in the history of modern literature. The plot of the work is tortuous and complex, and the structure is rigorous and complete. It integrates traditional Chinese chapter novels with new techniques in Western novels.
