Zhou Tianlai

837K0

This work describes the life of Gu Xiuzhen, a prostitute in Leli, Shanghai's red-light district in the 1920s and 1930s. She "worked alone", sometimes hunting big clients in the "company", sometimes waiting for customers in hotels, and even promiscuous men on the streets. The main scene of the story is concentrated in half of a small pavilion. From this specific perspective, various characters and events in the glitzy world of Shanghai at that time are shown.
