The Most Enjoyable Jin Ping Mei

The Golden Ping Mei, an ancient book, evolved from the scene in Water Margin in which Wu Song kills his sister-in-law. Through the description of Ximen Qing, a representative figure of the philistine forces who has three identities: a bureaucrat, a bully, and a wealthy businessman, and his family's sinful life, it embodies the folk life of that time. The Face of Life depicts a ghostly world composed of the imperial masters who were masters of power and dictatorship in the imperial court, local bureaucrats and bullies, and even the ruffians, hooligans, eunuchs, and gangsters in the market. It was listed as the first of the "Four Wonderful Books" of the Ming Dynasty. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
