Love in the City is Zhang Ailing's famous work and masterpiece. Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan, a pair of vulgar men and women, were thrown together by fate in the war, and instantly realized "a little sincerity" between "an ordinary couple".

The exact words of this sentence are:

Liu Yuan said, "I'm not that confused. I don't have to pay to marry someone who has no feelings for me to control me. This is so unfair. It's not fair to you either. Oh, maybe you don't care. Do you think marriage is simply a long-term prostitution? "

Creative background:

When Zhang Ailing was young, her parents divorced, and the decline of her family caused great trauma to her mind. What she sees from her parents and relatives is more the desolation of old-fashioned marriage.

Therefore, in Zhang Ailing's middle school, women rarely pursue their own values strongly. They can't find their own existence and rarely have pure romantic love. She tried to describe this kind of "love in ruins"-loveless marriage.

This kind of marriage is a helpless choice made by women in life, not based on love. In Love in a Fallen City, although Zhang Ailing ended up with a happy ending like Bai Liusu's marriage, it seems perfect, but in fact it is saturated with desolation.
