Summary

The moon and sixpence, translated in Chinese, is the protagonist of the book. I am a writer who has never met a talented person in London. I met a securities broker by chance. After reaching middle age, the other party suddenly responded to his inner call, rebelled and abandoned everything. He first went to Paris, and then went to Tahiti Island in the South Pacific to live with the aborigines and devote himself to painting, And became famous after death. After he became famous, I began to trace my contacts with artists and their life experiences.
The artists story is based on the life of Gauguin, a French post impressionist painter who was extremely depressed and sad.
