This book uses the protagonist's life changes as a thread to connect his past interactions with his neighbor, "Brother Fugui." He's a boastful and vain man, yet he always lends a helping hand to his neighbors in need. He obsessively "cultivates" the "wealthy bag" around his neck, believing it will bring him riches and honor, but behind this lies a hidden pain: the early death of his daughter, a broken marriage, and a serious illness. The symbolism of the "wealthy bag" runs throughout the story, pointing both to the yearning for material wealth and metaphorically representing the inescapable shackles of fate for ordinary people. Through a series of everyday vignettes, the novel portrays a struggling, downtrodden individual who seeks solace in boasting, yet always retains kindness and compassion, revealing the joys and sorrows of ordinary people living in urban neighborhoods.
