by HBangqing (Author)
Considered one of the great works of Chinese fiction, this is a story of desire and virtue set in the pleasure quarters of nineteenth-century Shanghai. From beautiful sirens to lower-class prostitutes, from well-respected patrons to repugnant criminals, it reveals the romantic games of the sing-song girls.
