Taking the marriage between Jin Quan's son Jin Yanxi and the commoner woman Leng Qingqiu from falling in love, getting married to falling out and getting divorced as the main line, it tells the story of the rise and fall of a wealthy family hidden behind the "gold" and "fans" in the precarious years.
The original novel of the same name as the classic TV series "The Golden Family". One of Zhang Henshui's masterpieces. It is both "romantic" and "social", and successfully combines the tragedy of love with the inevitable decline of famous nobles. It pioneered the theme of "criticism of the feudal extended family" in modern literature.
Reader comments
I watched the TV series many years ago, and when I read the original novel again, I felt it was more full-bodied and three-dimensional than the TV series. As the old saying goes, there is nothing wrong with a well-matched couple. Yan Xi's love for Qingqiu has always been a playboy. Love comes and goes quickly. After the novelty was over, no matter how Qingqiu tolerated it, Yan Xi was also dissatisfied. It's a pity that Qingqiu is such a good girl, well-educated and full of talents. But I met a playboy who fell in love with everyone he saw and had no sense of responsibility.
I watched TV and followed the novel, and I had a different feeling.
The characters are described in detail. It's great to listen to it while taking a walk!
