鸳鸯蝴蝶派代表作品

This book is about the story of Liu Desheng, who later changed his name to Liu Zi'an and is known as Kuaizui. During the military period of the Republic of China, there were constant wars and turmoil, and some officers held great power. Wang Quanhai, the garrison commander, Sun, and Xue Youpan, the commander-in-chief, took advantage of the situation and did whatever they wanted. Everyone was afraid and indulged in debauchery. Liu Desheng was initially a flower farmer, and later served as a third class soldier under Xue Youpan's automobile team. He was promoted for his excellent performance in cross-talk and later participated in wars to pacify bandits. He was promoted from regimental commander and brigade commander to division commander. Unexpectedly, Liu Desheng suffered a defeat in the war, and his former superiors who had promoted him all fled to the field. Liu Desheng took his savings of 700000 to 800000 and fled to Beijing, hoping to stay away from the war. He married the actor Wu Yueqing, but was deceived by her. In the end, he chose to stay away from the mortal world and escape into Buddhism, writing a book about his own history.
