This book tells the story of Lu Keming, the owner of a home decoration company, and his tumultuous business journey. It also depicts the choices and fates of ordinary people caught in the vortex of profit: bosses and employees, netizens and internet celebrities, men and women—all struggle and tumble in the vortex, striving to be among the lucky ones who remain on the shore. Yu Hua, unusually, fully utilizes his comedic talent, sketching a farce full of dark humor and absurd jokes with a brisk pace. The concise narrative is not lacking in vivid detail; the dialogue is full of clever double entendres; vivid and well-developed characters appear one after another; and bizarre scenes unfold in succession, releasing a unique literary charm… It's a book you won't put down, and you'll sigh with regret after finishing it; the subtleties of human nature and the complexities of life are all contained within.
