"Dream of Prosperity at Sea" is set in Shanghai's ten-mile foreign market in the late Qing Dynasty and centered on Shanghai's brothels. It describes the life of the wealthy people in the ten-mile foreign market. It takes the author's self-described Xie Youan and the prostitute Gui Tianxiang who is stuck in the mud as the main line. The story of their disguised talents and beauties is mixed with the descriptions of high-ranking officials and dandies on the Shanghai beach eating, drinking, gambling, and spending money like water. It shows the historical secular picture of modern China at the end of the last century. The big cities are abnormally prosperous and developed, with feasting and feasting, but the rural areas are no longer able to survive. Many young people have been reduced to a few girls. The contrast is very strong. It reflects that the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history was on the verge of collapse due to the invasion of capitalist countries. It reflects the current social situation at that time and has an image of cognitive value.
