About This Novel
This book is aimed at the "Piao tribe" who are struggling to survive in the city. It takes urban emotions as the theme and includes four very representative urban emotional novels by Shen Congwen. It depicts the love story between urban groups rich in regional colors and unique personalities, interspersed with Shen Congwen's thinking and criticism of human nature and the times. "The Life of a Female Actress": an emotional entanglement between a female actor and four men; "New Stars": a struggle between material and pure love; "Eight Horses": eight wretched professors with elegant and decent appearances; "Ru Rui": a crazy woman who longs for love but makes a fool of herself when the situation arises. When ignorance and love are intertwined in an era when human life is not worth much, the so-called "new" ideas are so fanatical and fragile that it is lamentable. Shen Congwen is good at describing delicate female characters. Even if the male character is the main line, he can still portray the psychological activities and behavioral characteristics of each character under the concept of love in an impressive way.
