《离婚》 / Divorce
《离婚》 is the [[LaoShe|老舍]] novel discussed in 02.离婚：郭德纲都不如老舍有意思. The episode frames it as a comic and claustrophobic Beiping office novel rather than a marriage-advice book: the title question of divorce opens onto arranged marriage, romantic fantasy, face, favors, bureaucratic absurdity, and the difficulty of acting inside ordinary life.
The source’s strongest reading is that the novel’s humor is not decorative. [[LaoLiLihun|老李]]’s failed resistance, [[ZhangDageLihun|张大哥]]’s suffocating decency, [[XiaoZhaoLihun|小赵]]’s opportunistic harm, [[DingErLihun|丁二]]’s violent action, [[LiTaitaiLihun|李太太]]’s rough presence, and [[MaShaonainaiLihun|马少奶奶]]’s projected moon all make the social world funny because it is trapped.
