It depicts the different experiences of people at the bottom of the society, including the writer Gao Huai, the primary school teacher Luo Jian, the unemployed demobilized soldier Du Quan, the briber Mo Lun, and the ambiguous girl Bai Mei. However, they all share the same fate - poverty. They depended on each other in the post-war difficulties and headed towards an unknown future together. The plot is intricate and compact, the suspense is endless, and the blood and tears shed by the characters for life are enough to shake people's hearts; the novel is also recognized as "a symbol of the maturity of Hong Kong literature." The novel went through many twists and turns from publication to publication. The novel was serialized in the "Chinese Business Daily" in 1948, but the newspaper stopped publishing due to personnel changes. At the same time, it experienced changes in publishers. In order to facilitate sales to other places, the title and "Overture" were deleted.

This is an extremely common convenience store, and stores similar to it can be seen in every corner of the city. In addition to being the same, there are also slight differences. When it comes to the night shift, these differences will increase slightly. At night, there will be a store manager who is chubby, stable, and can solve everything in time; there is also a young girl Xiaomiao who is full of energy, a little impetuous, and regards store rules as ironclad rules; there are also regular customers like Brother Huan, Ruan Ye, and the programmer who remains unknown; and there are thousands of customers who are short-lived but really shine in life. Where is the difference? Maybe the expired lunch box will be discarded later, maybe there will be more hot oden soup, maybe it is the inadvertent words from the store manager or Xiaomiao, so that those souls who are walking at night and have nowhere to rely on can get a little comfort here. Here, no night is ever the same.

This book consists of three independent novellas, which, as the author notes, are the stories of "three anonymous people". Although it is an independent chapter, it has "blood" connections and intertextuality. For example, the author did not mention the names of the three characters in the three novellas, and the era they lived in was unclear, but they had relatively clear occupations. They were doctors (B-ultrasound room), art teachers, and the last freelancer. The lives of the three people are narrated by "you, me, and him" respectively. Their fate trajectories are different, but what they have in common is that they are all triggered by an "offense" to the order, and their paths have changed since then. Doctors' professional attributes have been deprived of by external forces, teachers have become prisoners, and freelancers have embarked on a road of search without an end. As a reader, if you want to read the complete story from here, you may be disappointed. The author seems to have no intention of completing them at all. It is more like, as Robert Musil said, the author is describing "the ghost of things", and the three characters do show the characteristics of ghosts. It is as if a hungry person turns a blind eye to the food, and instead uses all his senses of sight, smell, and touch to enter the smell of the food. It seems ethereal, but it is indeed the essence of things. It is generated from the inside of things. The mist-like substance can better clarify the trembling, twisting and struggling of a person's soul when he is thrown into the world than the appearance.
