The History of Social Turmoil in the Late Qing Dynasty

I also learned by chance that this book is actually the sequel to "Witnessing the Strange Situation of Twenty Years". After reading this short 20-episode sequel, we have found out the real names of Yu Yousheng and Wu Jizhi who had narrowly escaped death. Their final outcome was actually the downfall of their family. However, it can also be seen from this that Wu Jizhi actually almost emptied his family fortune in order to keep the male protagonist. Otherwise, the male protagonist would not have to go to Shanghai alone to find a job. This sequel also tells many scattered short stories, but the difference is that it no longer uses the male protagonist as the main character to connect all the short stories. In this book, there is no absolute protagonist. According to current terms, it is a proper group portrait. This book has a lot of characters in just 20 chapters. There are Qiao Ziqian and Li Laosan, Lu Weiyuan and Li Xianshi, Yi Ziqi and Chen Yutang, Tian Yangfang and Chen Huishang... Most of the people inside are people who cheat, flatter, and bully others, and there are only a few good people. There are only 20 chapters. In fact, I highly recommend you to read them yourself. I won't introduce them one by one here. Among them, we highly recommend them, focusing on Yi Ziqi, Chen Yutang, Tian Yangfang, and Lu Weiyuan. To be honest, I really think they are all talented people and they speak well. Even if these guys are not officials, they are more than enough to be charlatans.
