About This Novel
"Golden Shanghai" is set in the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the 20th century, with the Ningbo businessmen who dominated Shanghai as the protagonist, and the financial industry (banks, banks, stock markets) as the main battlefield. It slowly unfolds an era painting with the main lines of wealth, life, family and country, love and hatred, justice and grievances. In 1905, four promising young men, Wu Tingju, Fu Shunan, Chen Jiong, and Zhang Hu, came to Shanghai with different dreams. They chose different paths in life due to different circumstances, ambitions, and realms. Frustrated scholar Wu Jingju was infiltrated by the Confucian ideal of economic development and benefiting the people. After his dream of taking the imperial examination, he participated in the industrial rescue. He started as an apprentice in Guhang and became a financial giant who controlled Shanghai's banking industry. He wanted to make the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce a pure business organization with dignity and benefit to the people. Fu Shun'an abandoned his dignity in order to get rid of his origins in Lingchang. The evil-minded Zhang Hu worships the Chinese inspector from the concession as his master, shows off his fists in Shanghai, opens up a world, and wants to establish a gangster system that can do whatever he wants; Chen Jiong is committed to the revolutionary feat of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, regaining Shanghai, and building a new world dominated by revolutionaries... As time goes by, ten years later, have their dreams come true? Have their goals been achieved?
