Note: Vanity Fair is adapted from Thackeray's novel of the same name. Vanity Fair is the most enduring masterpiece in his life. The background is drawn from the active upper-middle class society in Britain in the19th century. At that time, the country was strong, the industry and commerce were developed, and dajia, who had made a fortune by oppressing colonies or exploiting laborers, was ruling this society, and the war between Britain and France for power also broke out at this time. All kinds of people in the middle and upper classes are busy fighting for power and profits ... In this process, many people lost themselves, abandoned their families, love and friendship ... and finally paid a painful price. It takes Becky and Amelia's life feelings as clues, and also has many touching fragments, which are worth seeing.
