Not only do most of the scenes in the novel take place in the deep night, but the tone of the novel is dark, cold and desolate.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang government, which retreated to Chongqing, sent a large number of officials to various places to take over the real estate left by the Japanese invaders and traitors. These officials collected large amounts of wealth by accepting bribes, making false accounts, and colluding with local dignitaries and bankers to resell gold and real estate. "Five Sons Admitted to the Imperial College" is a microcosm of that period of history. The novelization uses the allusion of Dou Yanshan's five sons who were admitted to the imperial examinations in the Five Dynasties, and the family history of Jin Ziyuan, the reception commissioner in Peking, as a clue. It makes a bitter mockery of a series of shameless and shameless behaviors of the Kuomintang reception officials who frantically demanded and possessed "gold, houses, cars, women, and money."
