As a masterpiece of the century Chinese fiction, "Taipei People" is a collection of short stories that is profoundly complex. Consisting of fourteen outstanding short stories, they are interconnected, which significantly enlarges the scope of the novel. Not only do we get to see the various faces of society, but, more importantly, the repeated themes and their mutual echoes allow us to delve deeper into the meaning of the work, shedding light on the author's worldview and understanding of the universe. The characters in "Taipei People" can be said to encompass all levels of Taipei's urban society - from the upright and elderly Confucian scholar Mr. Po in "The Ode of Liang Fu" to the retired maid Sister Shun En in "Reminiscences of the Past," from the upper-class Mrs. Dou in "A Dream of Wandering in the Garden" to the lower-class "General Commander" in "Lonely Love Flower." There are intellectuals like Professor Yu Le in "Winter Night," businessmen like the boss's wife in "Flower Bridge Rong Ji," domestic workers like Wang Xiong in "The Blood-like Red Azalea," military personnel like Lai Ming-Sheng in "New Year's Cleaning," socialites like Yin Xue-yan, and even lower-class dancers like Jin Daban. These "great" characters, "middle" characters, and "small" characters come from different provinces and cities in mainland China (such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Sichuan, Hunan, Guilin, and Beiping). They vary in wealth, profession, but each carries a heavy, indelible past. This "past" and "memory," to a greater or lesser extent, are directly related to the "era of great suffering" from the establishment of the Republic of China to the fall of the mainland.
