Synopsis

Story background: Taking the hazy Jiangnan water town as the stage, it combines umbrella-making craftsmanship, the darkness of officialdom and human feelings in troubled times, and depicts an oriental picture dipped in ink. Core plot: Dai Fu, an orphan from the north, was ordered to go to his uncle Sun Jiachun, who made umbrellas. He met a girl in red, Li Zhilan (the daughter of Li Yushi), in a rainy alley. The Sun family was framed and bankrupted by the government, and Daifu was forced to join the army to make a living. He and Zhilan used an umbrella to flirt and set up an engagement. A year later, the descendant Fu returned from meritorious service, only to find that the Li family had been demoted due to official strife. Zhilan left a last letter to resist the engagement and died for her love. The two finally fell in love.

Is There Any Article That You Can Tell at a Glance Is Written by AI? the More Outrageous the Better

There are too many AI writers now. Not only is the entry barrier low, but the quality is also uneven. It feels like it will suppress the development space of many traditional writers in the future. I guess in the future, when writing articles, I will have to emphasize in advance at the beginning "not created by AI, purely hand-made"
