What are the living conditions of people in the complex?

Chapter 16 of Camel Xiangzi describes the living conditions of people in the building complex as follows:

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 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 women who are sold to "enjoy happiness" because of their appearance. Although they can get out of the painting, they will eventually return to the painting to live a miserable life, represented by joy.

Extended data

Siheyuan is a folk house in Beijing and some places in the north, which is generally converted from Siheyuan. The complex is mainly dilapidated and dangerous buildings. There are also many yards made up of burning buildings. The population of the complex can reach 100 or more at most.

As the name implies, the complex is "miscellaneous". The house is very miscellaneous, the style is not uniform, and everything is available. The height is nearly three meters, and the short one has to bend over to enter the door. People are mixed, including rich and poor, porters on the dock, women workers in textile mills, school teachers, shopkeepers in small shops, owners of iron factories, ruined landlords, and returning home groups. What a "rabble".

The emergence of large quadrangles, the more authoritative statement is that after the 1920s, enterprises gradually increased, farmers working in cities increased, and the urban population began to rise, so buildings suitable for "group living" came into being.

This complex is densely populated, but there are no secrets. It's okay. Everyone likes to visit. The parents in the east are short and short, and there are no secrets in the compound. Not to mention anything important, even if someone buys a wooden stool, it will soon become a household name.

As for who eats what, it is a secret that can't be hidden-the sound of chopping stuffing, the smell of stew and the oily smell of fried fish are all clues to solve the secret. However, many people don't eat alone, and sharing food is an unwritten rule of the complex. There is not much food, but love is the most important thing.
