Chapter 23 - This story is long and depressing. I don’t like it.

1 Underworld, same as the Yellow Springs just a different name.Top.
2 字字泣血 , not literally weeping blood, it’s a metaphor for deep sadness.Top.
3 辛苦奮鬥幾十年,一朝回到解放前 Refers to a situation where you take a gamble and end up losing everything. It’s a historical reference regarding founding of the PRC in 1949 and the policies that came with it (the liberation) and some land reforms in the 1970s that screwed people over (veeery generally speaking, i'm no historian).Top.
