Zusammenfassung:MODERN & CONTEMPORARY FICTION (POST C 1945). Shanghai is one of the cities in China that has been exposed to a great deal of outside influences throughout its history. The author, with a keen eye for observation, has chiseled out the life of common city dwellers in its alleyways from the 1980s to the 1990s in these two stories. Through the perspective of Gu Longfei, also nicknamed Black Bug, the leading character, "River Under the Eaves" follows the family through three generations. Sharp-tongued, but soft-hearted, Black Bug's grandmother took care of him and the rest of the family. When Black Bug was young, his father asked for divorce to be with another woman. In return, his mother demanded for the right of the house. His father simply refused and moved out of the house. Adding to the family discord, his father's younger sister Meizi had settled down in the countryside of Anhui Province, and hadn't contacted her mother for many years
