She was rescued by Xiao Jun and fell in love with each other, but unfortunately she was violently and betrayed by Xiao Jun. She left cruelly and met Duanmu Hongliang, but she met an unkind person again and endured Duanmu's cowardice and selfishness.

Xiao Hong was known as the "Literary Luo Shen of the 1930s." Today, let us read her life and taste her works.

Reader comments

This book gave me a deeper understanding of Xiao Hong. Her life was really full of suffering. Just like what is said in the book, "Her life has become a sad poem." This reminds me of my own emotional experiences and similar struggles and pains. But Xiao Hong was not defeated by the suffering. She was still full of enthusiasm for life. I admire this tenacity very much. I think this book not only tells the story of Xiao Hong, but also allows us to see a microcosm of an era. It is worth reading.

Xiao Hong has been wandering all her life. "The falling flowers are speechless to Xiao Hong." This is Duanmu Hongliang's sentimental work when Xiao Hong was seriously ill. She hooked up with many men in her youth, but in the end, none of them really belonged to her. Maybe without the initial resistance, she would have lived a normal life, but there would not be the Xiao Hong who remains in people's hearts now. I still remember that Teacher Guo Wei described her like this - a little girl looked up at the sky, watching the changing clouds in the sky, and watching the colors of the burning clouds in the sky.
