In July 1923, when Yu Dafu created "The Night of Spring Breeze Drunkenness", due to the influence of the current situation, Yu Dafu's gaze also began to shift from focusing more on the narrow circle of intellectuals to the broader working people, depicting the suffering of the basic people, showing their resistance, and revealing the root cause of their unfortunate encounters. It is a short story written by Yu Dafu, which deeply describes the story of a female worker of a lower class worker who is upright, kind, sincere, helpful, and has a simple sense of class resistance after moving to the slum of Dundalu.
The people in the slums have fallen asleep. In a row of western-style buildings on Deng Tuo Road in Rixinli opposite, there are also a few lit up with red and green electric lights, where they play Lala Yijia. Two crisp singing, with a mournful tone, came from the cold air of the silent night to my eardrums, which were probably the singing of the russian drifting maidens, selling money there. The sky was covered with thin gray clouds, covering it like a decaying corpse. A little or two stars can also be seen in the broken clouds, but near the stars, the dark sky seems to have infinite sorrow hidden.

The innocence of Yu Dafu's writing is the most precious treasure of mankind, and the light of human nature that cannot be knocked down by poverty and pain shines in the darkness. The story of "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" is not bright, and the tone of the whole novel is as written at the end of the article: "Two crisp songs, with a mournful tone, from the cold air of the silent night to my eardrums... The sky was covered with thin gray clouds, covering it like a decaying corpse. A little or two stars can also be seen in the broken clouds, but near the stars, the dark sky seems to have infinite sorrow. "There is not a word of love, and there is not a word without emotion.
The "I" in "A Drunken Night in the Spring Breeze" is a talented, sleepy, emotionally melancholy intellectual, indignant at the dark reality and deep sympathetic to the suffering of the working people at the bottom. "I" live without a life, emotionally depressed, but when faced with the misfortune of a lower-class female worker who has the same situation as myself, there is a sense of cynicism stirring in her heart.
