Title 孽海花
Alternate Title Nie Hai Hua
Credits Produced by Yi-Ting Kuo
Summary "孽海花" by Pu Zeng is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative likely explores themes of freedom and oppression, focusing on an island called "奴乐岛" (Slave Island) in a mythical sea, tied to broader socio-political contexts. The story appears to revolve around a character referred to as the "爱自由者" (Lover of Freedom), who embarks on a journey to uncover the mysteries and injustices surrounding this island and its inhabitants. At the start of the novel, a vivid and poetic depiction sets the tone, describing a fictional island shrouded in darkness and a certain despondency due to its lack of freedom. The protagonist, a seeker of truth and liberty, arrives in Shanghai, where he learns about alarming news—war is looming, threatening local stability. This incites him to delve deeper into the secrets of the island, leading to chance encounters that hint at a complex historical narrative intertwined with themes of liberation and societal critique. The opening establishes a sense of intrigue about the island's fate and the protagonist's quest for knowledge and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
