Home is the first part of the "Torrent Trilogy" created by Ba Jin in the 30s, which has been attracting readers with its unique anti-feudal ideological brilliance and moving artistic charm since its inception in 1931, and occupies an important position in the history of modern Chinese literature.

The long ** "Home" is set in Chengdu, Sichuan, a city in Chinese mainland in the early 20s, and truly writes the history of the decay and collapse of the Gao family, a very representative feudal family. The Gao family in the work is a microcosm of Chinese feudal society and family system. On the surface, the Gao family "reads and knows etiquette, everything goes well", the family is respectful and orderly, and the etiquette is strict; But in fact, there is fierce intrigue and intrigue everywhere in this big family.

In order to compete for the family property, Aunt Chen, Ke'an, Keding and others played all tricks under the banner of maintaining the honor of the family and the old lady Gao. They first made a "ghost" and scared the old lady to death, and then they made a "blood avoidance" and killed Ruijue; They knew very well that it was the warlord scuffle, which led to the destruction of the mall, but they forced the new compensation for the loss of **, and broke up when the old lady's bones were still cold. In addition, the profligacy and parasitic life of this feudal family has also created a generation of "losers" who only spend extravagantly all day long and live a life of poverty and luxury, which is particularly prominent in the characters of the Gao family's "gram" generation.

For example, Mrs. Gao's favorite fifth son, Keding, is not only proficient in prostitution, gambling, smoking, and playing Xiaodan, but also deceives his wife's gold and silver jewelry to sell, and sets up a private mansion outside to keep prostitutes for fun.
