A Prostitute in Republican-Era China

The development history of prostitution can be said to be long. Even in today's legal society, there are still people who take risks and do things that violate laws and disciplines. The prostitution industry should not exist. Behind its prosperity is a series of rampant criminal cases and the depravity of the human spirit. Women trapped in this industry are doomed to have a tragic life. The author of this book collects a large amount of information from prostitutes of all walks of life and prostitutes at home and abroad to describe the various contradictions in this industry and show the tragic experiences of women in it.

It is not easy for a master author to collect information. It is ten thousand times better than those works of imagination.

Not bad. I looked at it. The stories in this book seemed to put me into that complicated and obscure history, which made me feel deeply sympathetic and confused.

The three religions and nine streams were the classification of people's social status and occupations in China's feudal era, and prostitutes were classified as the lowest of the nine streams. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there was a prostitute named Sai Jinhua. She was sold to a flower boat as a prostitute because of her poor family. She was popular from the beginning as a shepherd, but her experience was bumpy. She was abducted and trafficked to Shanghai, where she learned English while working as a prostitute. She met Hong Yun, a minister of the Ministry of War, who was born as a champion. Later, she conquered the German marshal and reduced the suffering of the people in the capital. She also helped Li Hongzhang sign the Xinchou Treaty. However, she was driven out of the capital by Hong Yun's relative, Su Ji, and her life was full of hardships and misery.

The elegance and romance of the Republic of China are vividly displayed in this book. Various romantic places and busy traffic everywhere, from the Bada Hutong to the banks of the Qinhuai River, are stories, vivid history, and flesh-and-blood people. They were forced to feel helpless and speechless in the context of the times. When reading, you can feel the heavy sense of the times and the imprint left by the years. The book presents the entire industry in detail, which can deepen readers' understanding of the times.

This book is vividly written and thought-provoking. An after-dinner treat.

This book says that the woman was plotted by others from the beginning and was unable to recover.

Yes, we live in a happy era

Sai Jinhua is an oriental beauty that has not been written by Waldersee for a century, and she is also a representative figure of prostitutes in the Republic of China in this book's biography. These women who had promised their fate to the brothel early on were either forced by poor families or had other considerations; in short, they were just chess pieces, which emerged with the rise of human civilization. The prostitution industry has been repeatedly banned. This is not only the desire economy where people have low appetite and sex, but also the status "given" to Shanghai, which was forced to open up under the conditions of semi-feudal China. The author uses narrative and discussion to tell us the fate of those prostitutes in the Hutongs of old Shanghai and old Beijing.
