Paper Gold and Drunken Splendor (《纸醉金迷》) is a novel by Zhang Henshui, set in Chongqing during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). It portrays the social chaos and moral decay in China's wartime capital through the lives of ordinary people struggling amid greed and survival.
The story follows Tian Peizhi, a woman whose life spirals into ruin due to gambling, speculative trading, and emotional entanglements. Surrounding her are vivid characters-corrupt officials, profiteers, and disillusioned intellectuals-painting a bleak picture of a society obsessed with money and pleasure while the nation fights for survival.
《纸醉金迷》是张恨水创作的长篇小说,以抗战时期的重庆为背景,描绘了战时陪都的社会百态。故事围绕一群在乱世中沉浮的小人物展开,展现了战争阴影下人性的贪婪、欲望与挣扎。
小说通过女主角田佩芝的命运变迁,揭露了当时社会的腐败与道德沦丧。田佩芝原本是一个普通女性,但在战乱和金钱的诱惑下,逐渐迷失自我,陷入赌博、投机和情感纠葛,最终走向悲剧。书中还刻画了投机商人、官僚、知识分子等各色人物,生动再现了抗战后期重庆"前方吃紧,后方紧吃"的畸形繁荣景象。
