"Divorce" was created in 1933 and is Mr. Lao She's most satisfying work. It has been adapted into a movie and TV series of the same name.
The story of "Divorce" is simple and exquisite, and revolves around several staff members of the Beijing Finance Office and their families. It describes the daily life of small civil servants during the Republic of China, and gently satirizes their perfunctory attitude towards life.
"Divorce" may seem trivial, but it can arouse strong resonance among contemporary people. In addition to the eternal "seeking understanding and eager to get rid of vulgarity", people can also see: office struggles, social terror, interference with privacy, scumbags, gnawing on the elderly, mistresses, marital conflicts, children's education, gender equality, regional discrimination and other issues. We will be surprised to find that there seems to be no essential change from that time to now. Perfunctory, numb, weak, and philistine... We still maintain a weird society.
