It brings together the representative works of Mr. Liu Yunruo, a master of popular literature in the Republic of China and "the originator of Tianjin Wei citizens' novels". Liu Yunruo, with his sharp brushstrokes that understand the world and his sentimental and gentle prose, deeply depicts the complex struggle and delicate balance between love and morality, desire and reality between urban men and women. His stories mostly revolve around small characters such as singers, dancers, widows, and clerks. There are no heroes who do not like fireworks, but only ordinary men and women who are trapped in the mire of life but still shine with the brilliance of humanity. His works have twists and turns in their plots and emotional ups and downs, and are particularly precise in their portrayal of the characters' psychology, often revealing a bit of desolation and irony in the joys and sorrows.
