Everyone may find bad cards. Playing bad cards in their hands is the only thing we can do in our lives.
"Mandarin duck six seven four", the four bad cards in the nine games, if you get it, you will lose 90% of them. "Mandarin duck six" is the six points with different colors of the two. "July 4" is a seven o'clock and a four o'clock. Ma Jiahui uses bad cards as a metaphor to describe the impermanence of the world and the courage of the children in the world to ride the wind and waves - bet with time, love, fate, and even bet with the times, keeping true feelings in adversity and living up to oneself.

short comment excerpt from book friends
Ann Hui (screenwriter): In "The Mandarin Duck Six and Seven Four", the intention, narrative, characters and background have been mixed. The impression I gave me is a bit like Greek mythology. The characters are like gods with emotions and six desires, embedded in a magical era, creating a unique and unique world. Doesn’t this achieve our highest requirement for literary creation?——
Shen Xiaoshan (Douban reader): compared with "Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail", we can clearly see Ma Jiahui’s progress. From beginning to end, there is a fatalism throughout, and everyone arranges the ending, which seems rough and absurd, but reasonable. In this book, he talks about human nature. Not all children in the world should be moral. They are just taking the initiative or forced to confront the times. Everything is fate, and it is just to survive. The novel is set in Hong Kong in the 1940s and 1960s, and the rise and fall of a city is called the vicissitudes of life. After the dog-tail sequel to "Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail", Ma Jiahui finally wrote a group of small characters under the great era in "Mandarin duck Six and Seven Four". What's more, it's a different story for people to read this book when they are middle-aged. "Play the bad cards in your hand" is more often just people's wishful thinking.
ThrePac (Douban Reader): The second part of Ma Jiahui’s Jianghu Novels, the story revolves around the life and story of Lu Nancai, the protagonist of "Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail", which is more like a love novel than a legendary novel in the Jianghu. The relationship between A Bing and A Bing in the troubled times can be said to be the most exciting part of this novel. Ma Jiahui borrowed Zhang Ailing's writing style and was a clever idea. The changes in mood and details of the two in the troubled times are endless. "Wan Chai Wolf" this time pushed the story to the post-war 1960s. In the changing generations of the Tangkou River and the love and hatred are still the main storyline, and I still like it very much.
Morgan (Douban reader): Ma Jiahui wrote Lu Nan in the head and phoenix tail so unforgettable, which led to the fact that in Yuanyang Liuqi4, I knew he had left his son and suddenly felt that this story could be continued again! I felt a little hasty at the end of A Bing's death, but then I thought about it, this is the real life, without so many ups and downs. Just like Gao Leiming's death and Lu Nancai's death, in the world, life and death are in a moment, maybe killed by a random bomb or killed by his savior. A Bing never expected that he would die in the hands of a woman who had been lingering all his life.
