People survive in society, there will be seven emotions and six desires, perhaps it is with these desires that life is more motivated. But some people's desires are greed, either for matter or for spirit. People with high desires in this category are often difficult to satisfy, and they will more or less use their own ways to achieve the purpose of satisfying desires. But then again, how many people can remain pure in this materialistic society? Where there are so-called people, there will be desires.
In Mr. Jia Pingwa's "Temporary Sitting", it tells a group of girls with passions and dreams. They work hard and fight for their own desires, and they are also known as the Twelve Jades of Xicheng. However, among them, there was a strange woman who was difficult to fill, named Ying Lihou. Sitting on 23 properties in the West Side at a young age, it can be said that she is a combination of beauty and talent. But it is such a wealthy woman, still not satisfied with the status quo, with a higher pursuit of materialism.
"Temporary Sitting" is another famous work of Mr. Jia Pingwa after "Waste Capital". Both books depict young people's spiritual and material pursuits and attitudes, but Mr. Jia's "Temporary Sitting" in his later years seems to be superior, and women here pursue the dual independence of spirit and material.
The book "Temporary Sitting" is named after a teahouse of the same name in the novel, and the owner is the strong woman Hai Ruo. She gathered more than a dozen like-minded strong women in the West Side, and you and I came and went around the teahouse or doing some business, or connecting feelings. Hai Ruo gave each of them a piece of jade to carry with them, so they also called the Twelve Jades of Xicheng. The twelve jades here are easy to remind us of the Jinling Twelve Jade in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and their personalities and fates are extraordinary.
They have all achieved something in the West Side to a greater or lesser extent, and they are all smart and beautiful. It can be said that in a big city like Xicheng, they can be regarded as figures with heads and faces. In the eyes of ordinary people, these twelve jades are very bright and beautiful, which is extremely enviable. But in fact, he also has his own troubles, although Hai Ruo is a strong woman, she deals with the rich merchants and high-ranking officials in Xicheng, and life also makes her rack her brains. Although the sisters have their own sufferings, they can solve many problems by helping each other.
Among these twelve jades, the easiest to make money is the strong woman Ying Lihou. She owns 23 properties in the West Side, which can be said to be a typical rich woman, and in this city where land is scarce, even if she owns a property, it is enviable. Therefore, even the men of the West City must be envious of Ying Lihou.
Ying Li's 23 properties, even if they only charge rent every month, are inexhaustible for ordinary people. It can be said that it has been able to support the life of Ying Lihou's drunken fans. However, for such superior material conditions, Ying Lihou was naturally not satisfied, and she still longed for a more luxurious material life. In order to be able to meet her own needs, she sacrificed her body to seek more benefits. In this disgraceful way, profit from it. This is difficult for ordinary people to understand, which shows how crazy her pursuit of material things is.
As the ancients said, just walk by the river, where there are shoes that are not wet. Ying Lihou, who was bent on going her own way, chose this road of no return for her own greed, and her ultimate fate may have been doomed long ago. In the novel, instead of achieving her so-called extravagant life by selling her body, she fell to the ground and owed a bunch of usury, and the ending really made everyone sigh.
The most fundamental reason for Ying Li's ending lies in herself. But her good friend Yan Chu became the fuse. Yan Chu is in charge of medical equipment and equipment, and she has a good friendship with the president of a hospital. One day, a friend of the dean's money was not available, so he came to the dean for help and promised to give high interest.
After Yan Chu knew, he began to encourage Ying Li to provide ten million dollars to the dean's friend. In order to achieve the goal, Yan Chu and the dean acted together as guarantors. Driven by interests, Ying Lihou compromised, after all, the dean's friend was willing to give 500,000 interest every month, which was six million a year, how could this not make her move? If it goes well, maybe it will be able to turn it over in two years. Yan Chuhe and the dean were originally people with heads and faces, and they also had some prestige in this place in Xicheng, and after Ying Li finally agreed to the request. She happily handed over 10 million, but unbeknownst to her, this was all her possessions.
What surprised Ying Lihou was that where there was a free lunch in the world, there was no money that was earned so easily, and the temptation of huge profits would inevitably be accompanied by high risks. The interest for the first three months was quite normal, and the fourth month had a problem, and ying Li not only did not receive interest, but even the borrower disappeared without a trace.

His hard-earned savings were cheated away, and Ying Lihou was also considered to be living on the street, and he could be said to be very anxious. However, her good friend Yan Chu, together with the dean, has devised a conspiracy and re-signed an agreement with Ying Lihou, allowing them to change from guarantors to indirect guarantors at once. Yan Chuhe and the dean used the golden cicada to break out of the shell and successfully got rid of the legal responsibility.
Ying Li felt that she had been tricked by her girlfriend, and she was almost angry. Hurriedly found a collection company, but unbeknownst to them, the collection company used abnormal collection methods and almost killed people. Ying Lihou had to urgently suspend the collection, but was told to collect 300,000 yuan in labor fees, which really compensated his wife and folded the soldiers.
Ying Lihou combines talent and beauty, and has tens of millions of funds. However, he did not hesitate to sell himself in order to pursue a more luxurious life. If you are not careful in making friends, you have been cheated out of all your family property, and it can be said that a good hand of cards is played poorly. It is true that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, greed is indeed harmful, of course, perhaps all this is predestined.
Perhaps this is as said in "Temporary Sitting", for this world we are all passers-by, and the society is prosperous and complex. In such a society, we are all sitting temporarily. Mr. Jia Pingwa's new work "Temporary Sitting" in his later years wrote about the greed and obsession of life, and it is also the sublimation of spirit and material in Mr. Jia's life. He describes women's spiritual and material pursuits to the extreme, and the women in "Temporary Sitting" pursue the spiritual realm and desire an independent and rich life, but they yearn for material independence.
