The Old Story in the South of the City was a famous modern Chinese novel that mainly narrated the life and stories of the south of Shanghai in the 1930s. There are many important characters in the novel, and the ones that left a deep impression on me are the following: Lin Yutang: Lin Yutang was a famous cultural celebrity and one of the protagonists of the old story in the south of the city. He was a famous translator and a great influence on the development of modern Chinese literature and thought. In the novel, he used his own unique perspective and way of thinking to describe the cultural style and character life of the old things in the south of the city. 2. Fang Hongjian: Fang Hongjian was a good friend of Lin Yutang and also another protagonist of the old story in the south of the city. In the novel, he was a well-educated young man who had to make a living in the south of the city due to his family's poverty. Through his own efforts and opportunities, he gradually embarked on the path of success and became a famous scholar and social actician. 3. Ah-Cheng: Ah-Cheng is a famous author of the story of the south of the city. In his novel, he used his profound cultural background and unique literary style to describe the characters and lives of the old things in the south of the city. His novels were full of humane care and idealistic colors, which had a profound impact on the development of modern Chinese literature and thought. Cuihua: Cuihua is Lin Yutang's wife and an important character in the old story of Chengnan. She was a gentle and beautiful woman who cared for her husband and children. She was a good wife and a good partner in the novel. These are the characters in the story of Chengnan that left a deep impression on me. Their stories and images not only show the style and culture of Chengnan, but also deeply reflect the life and humanity of Chinese society in the 1930s.
