Synopsis

[This novel could almost be considered a true account. To get the whole story, the novice author spent a week eating barbecue at the subject’s barbecue stall. Other than the names, almost everything in the novel is true.]

After graduating from vocational school in 2012, I couldn’t find a suitable job right away. Later, a fellow townsman referred me to a job, so I went to Shenzhen on my own, then eventually made my way to a private club in Dongguan to work.

During that time, I met all kinds of people and witnessed many things that are hard to talk about. For the first time, the world of lavish indulgence unfolded before my eyes in all its reality. I noticed the women at the club. Some had ended up there out of desperation, while others had earned what seemed like easy money and then found they could never return to the lives they’d had before.
