This is a novel about life in China's high-class brothels in the early twentieth century. The heroine, Xia Yanhu, is the daughter of a warlord. After her father is killed in battle and her mother takes her own life, she is left with a deep-seated desire for revenge. Hiding her identity, she flees alone. To repay a debt of gratitude, she sells herself into servitude and works for General Shu's family, who saved her life. To avenge her father, she steals a knife, leaves a letter, and enters a brothel as a courtesan. On her wedding night, she kills the warlord Lai, her father's murderer.
The novel centers on Xia Yanhu's story of gratitude and revenge. It also portrays a cast of vividly distinct characters: the brothel madam Shisanniang; the courtesans Cuixiu, Taozhier, and Qu Wufeng; and the wealthy patrons and merchants Pang Tiande and Cui Ziyun. The book offers a detailed picture of life in China's high-class brothels in the early twentieth century, while also reflecting the political and commercial climate of the time. Such a subject is rare in the history of modern Chinese literature.
I read this book carefully twice and never missed a word or a sentence. It really has the flavor of the Dream of Red Mansions text. I love it😳😳😳
The writing is good, the words are concise and concise, the charm is long, the relationship between the characters and the description are reasonable and reasonable. It is worth reading.
It has the flavor of novels from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The author must have read a lot of non-classical Chinese novels. Being a young author is not easy.
The image of each character is very three-dimensional and real. Yanhu is fierce and proud, chivalrous and tender; Green sleeves are exquisite and clear, smart and capable; Tao Zhi'er is more like a charming and sincere little girl, and she has an infatuated story with Shu Rong. Even if it is difficult to say that she will be the same in the future, it can be regarded as a romantic and beautiful love, which is very touching.
It is well written, and the best thing is that there is a lot of blank space at the end, allowing us readers to have various imaginations. The ending lies in our own hearts, not in the author's pen.
The writing of the revenge novel is very good, but it's too short and not enough to read.
Very wonderful novel! Miss Hu is a strange woman!
Overall, it's okay. I hope Xia Yanhu can meet his lover and live up to the rest of his life.
[OK] Looks good, leave a trace and read them all
The tiger girl of your general's family fell into the dust for a while. Serving a tiger alone to avenge her father, a woman is never inferior to a man!
