What is life like in chapter 16 of Camel Xiangzi? What is the significance of the author's careful writing of complex life?

Chapter 16 of Camel Xiangzi describes the living conditions of people in the buildings as follows.

Whether rickshaw pullers, vendors, servants or prostitutes, everyone is hungry and cold. For example, a girl of seventeen or eighteen has no trousers to wear, a pregnant woman has to do heavy work, and an old man has no coffin when he dies. It can be said that poverty is the characteristic of complex, and hell is the expression of complex.

The complex is a hell on earth, and the people inside will become ghosts. Men are extremely depressed by their livelihood, so they can only anesthetize themselves with alcohol. Finally, beating their wives is extremely cruel and even dehumanizing women and forcing them to become prostitutes, which is represented by Er Qiangzi.

The women in the complex are a group image, which can be divided into two categories: one is the women who suffer because they have no appearance and can't leave the complex except death, represented by the second strong wife; One kind is a woman who is betrayed and enjoys happiness because of her appearance. Although they can go out of painting, they will eventually go to painting and live a miserable life. This is represented by joy. Although their paths are different, they are all oppressed by life, patriarchy and husband power, and have the same tragic fate.

The complex is a hell on earth, and people born in it will become "ghosts". Men are forced to make a living and are extremely depressed. They can only rely on alcohol to anesthetize themselves, beat their wives when they are drunk, which is extremely cruel and even destroys interpersonal relationships and forces women to engage in prostitution. They are drunkards and fierce ghosts, represented by Er Hadron. The women in the painting are a group image.
