About This Novel
One morning in the cold winter of 1952, Chen Linsheng, a clerk at Xiangfu Jewelry Zhai in Guizhou City, went to work in the store as usual. It was very cold, and the north wind was as hard as a knife. Chen Linsheng wrapped himself tightly in cotton clothes, lowered his head and ran to keep warm. He ran all the way to the door of the store, took out the key and looked up, and found that both doors in the store were already open. He was very surprised because Cai Benshan, the attendant who lived in the store, would never open the door on his own initiative. He would have to wait for Chen Linsheng to open the first door and Cai Benshan would see Chen Linsheng from the observation hole before opening the second door to let Chen Linsheng in. This was a store rule that had been followed for many years and no one had ever broken it. After all, gold, silver and jewelry are precious things, and safety measures always come first. Chen Linsheng pushed open the second door, which was ajar, and stood at the door. His eyes suddenly became dim.
