"Smoke Locked in a Heavy Building" was completed in Keyuan, Taipei on August 10, 1994. It is a novel written for the filming of a TV series. The story takes place in Baisha Town, Anhui Province in the early Republic of China. According to Qiong Yao himself, the creative inspiration came from the Tangyue Archway Group in Anhui. The Zeng family's majestic seven-domain archway is famous far and wide, and is not only the glory of the entire Huizhou region. On the first day when Meng Han married into the Zeng family, one of the most dramatic, fancy and spectacular rituals was the bride paying homage to the memorial arch. On the big day, the whole town, old, young, women, children, and friends gathered together, and tens of thousands of people came to watch the fun. Suddenly, the happy crowd was forced to be inserted into the funeral procession, and everyone was in an uproar. The bride Menghan was also shocked. She wondered in her heart whether she would marry into a well-known ethical family in Bai Shao Town, or would she be locked into a deep building shrouded in a mysterious and treacherous atmosphere?

Finally a happy ending, this is a happy ending, so touching. The endangered feudal ethics have long been crushed by the wheels of history. A new force, as powerful as a bamboo, is unstoppable.
The suppression of human nature by feudal ethics, and the hero and heroine's yearning for true love, finally won the life of Liu Yin Hua Ming! The story has twists and turns, and the details are beautifully described! Reading it all in one go will leave you with a long-lasting aftertaste!
Qiong Yao's novels are very graphic, full of positive energy, anti-feudal and anti-patriarchal, and advocate for equality between men and women. They really influenced a generation of intellectual women and truly reflected the current status of marriage during the Republic of China.
Qiong Yao-style dialogues, and scenes from Qiong Yao's TV series will appear during the reading process. It is truly a memory of a generation!
It's a beautiful book, so I read it in one go. After the 1970s, we grew up with Aunt Qiongyao's books. We have read many of her books. Isn't the love in the book her wish? I hope she can find her love in another world.
His writing style is outstanding, and some of his ideas are still ahead of most people's times.
Qiong Yao's works are very enjoyable, the story is also a romance, and the description of the old lady of the Zeng family is very good. For the sake of the family's face, Qiu Tong was allowed to enter the family memorial hall at the righteous request of the grandson's daughter-in-law. They are both women but have different values to understand. Her own grandson is also spoiled unkindly. Only the daughter and grandson's daughter-in-law stand on the side of justice. Alas, I hope the male protagonist can change and become a responsible person.
I like Qiong Yao's books
I liked Qiong Yao's books when I was a girl, and now I still like Qiong Yao's books after reading them all. That warm and pure emotion is the soul of Qiong Yao's book, and only Qiong Yao's!
Memories of my childhood, well written and well shot in the TV series
Super pretty! This is an anti-feudal and anti-arranged marriage work
The writing is concise and the story is touching. It is a good book worth reading!
This article is written fluently and depicts human nature very delicately.
Qiong Yao's novels always contain so many joys and sorrows, and the endings are beautiful.
Stories inspire people

Very nice book, keep following it
Sounds good, sounds good, sounds good
It feels heavy to watch

This is a book I read when I was in junior high school!
Seven layers of archways, seven layers of chains
Very good very good
I am so touched. Aunt Qiong Yao has left us, but the novels she wrote will always be in our hearts, just like her, they will always be in our hearts [almost crying]
Menghan is a sensible woman, but she is unfortunately married to a scumbag.
. The superstitions of feudal society were finally broken. How happy is the last family reunion?
Finally saw a good ending, happy
The writing is good, I want to continue reading.
After reading more than half of it, I marveled at Grandma Qiong Yao's writing power and sighed at the story of the smoke-locked building...
