Summary "情變" by Jianren Wu is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, presenting tales interwoven with themes of love, betrayal, and societal expectations through the lives of its main characters, particularly focusing on寇四爺 and他的妻子, as well as the intertwined lives within their community. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the world of寇四爺, a man skilled in the arts of illusion and martial prowess, and his wife,寇四娘, who is equally talented. Set against the backdrop of a year of famine, the couple decides to leave their village to perform in the cities, hoping to earn a living in a time of scarcity. Their journey provides insights into their thoughts, aspirations, and the social dynamics of the people they encounter, including a brief introduction to秦相公, who comes from a humble background but possesses ambitions for his family. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at deeper connections and future developments that will shape both their fates significantly. The opening establishes an engaging mix of folklore and personal story, enticing readers into reflecting on the relationships that define their characters' lives.
