Extended data:
Because of The King of Shanghai and Little Laurel, the writer Hong Ying was completely labeled as a feminist writer. It can be said that this novel is the author's merciless mockery of China's patriarchal world, which is characterized by "hypocrisy in speaking, willfulness in doing things, unconventional behavior, and not treating women as human beings".
It is also a strong praise for underworld women who dare to say and do things, be a man and do things, have backbone and have true temperament. However, what is the final outcome of women who are "more desperate than men"? As the writer himself said, "My fate is still unknown, and so is Xiao Gui." This seems to leave readers with a broad imagination.
After the publication of King of Shanghai, it was translated into many languages in just a few years, and there are many versions abroad. It was also adapted into a TV series, which was shown in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan Province and other places, and it was well received after the release. King of Shanghai is more dramatic than Flowers for My Children and Hungry Daughter, especially for readers who like to chase old Shanghai stories.
