The main character was once a gambler then lost all his money and started a simple life as a farmer. Like a kid wearing an oversized coat and suddenly had it taken off him to expose the weak man that's underneath. How fake this world seems, in the first part of the book, but as the story progresses, the real face of society looks straight into the eye of Fu Gui, making him kneel at the utter cruelty of the world.
