Please tell me about the synopsis of Lao She’s work "Divorce".

Story summary of "Divorce":

Lao Li, a very cowardly clerk in the old government office. He was dissatisfied with his marriage, but he didn't have the courage to get out of it. The "poetry" in his heart always disturbed his heart, leaving him always with a little desire and a little fantasy. Brother Zhang is everyone’s eldest brother. Brother Zhang is a saint. He cares about everyone's business, but he can't care about his own family's affairs.

"Divorce" is a story about small citizens. Its protagonist is a group of civil servants in the National Government. The worries of these small people are nothing more than wives, children, office work, promotions, affairs... …and so on. "Trouble" is not as romantic as "pain" - it will not kill people; however, "trouble" follows you like a shadow and lingers. It is more difficult to get rid of than "pain". It will not destroy the human body suddenly, but it will destroy the human body little by little. Corrodes the human soul. Extended information

The protagonist Lao Li’s intellectual reflections on life run through the entire text. This reflection shows Lao Li’s psychological transformation from an idealist to a small citizen. At the same time, it also has a critical meaning as a writer. It is very different from the purely objective narrative technique deliberately pursued by new realistic novelists. However, the writers of the two eras also expressed the trivial troubles in ordinary life, and this historical cycle was elevated to a symbol and an eternal summary. Among Lao She's many works, the content in "Divorce" is the dullest, but this dullness makes it even heavier to read today - the fate of "Crescent Moon" may change after the arrival of a new system, but the world is mediocre. The fate of mediocre little people seems to be forever difficult to change.

This kind of record about the troubles of ordinary people is no stranger to reading today. In the mid-1980s, the "new realism" of young novelists such as Chi Li, Fang Fang, and Liu Zhenyun took it as the theme. However, Lao She is a writer from the previous generation after all, and there is more than fifty years between the creation of "Divorce" and the "New Realistic Novel".
