Barber Secrets
About This Novel
Barber Chen Shouren guarded a secret for twenty years until the demolition team's shovels dug up the soil under the old locust tree and a rusty iron box was revealed. ?? The old-fashioned barber scissors in the box brought him back to the rainy night in 1999 that changed everything. Junior brother Jianjun disappeared that night, leaving only the words "Brother, if I can't come back" and the blood-stained scissors. ?? Along with the iron box surfaced, there were also a series of evidence that questioned the past: a yellowed group photo of three young people, an enamel jar engraved with "Gift to Brother", and half a jade pendant as a token. The in-depth investigation by reporter Su Wen, the keen insight of veteran policeman Uncle Zhang, and the sudden visit of Li Sijian, the daughter of the founding army, caused Chen Shouren's carefully maintained peaceful life to fall apart. ?? The truth gradually became clear in the intertwining of physical evidence and memory: the difficulties of starting a business as a self-employed person, the blackmail under the shadow of power, and the sacrifices made for protection. When the dust of the demolition settled, Chen Shouren completed his transformation from a secret keeper to a life inheritor under the new sign of "Jianjun Haircut". ?? Through an unsolved case spanning twenty years, this work not only reveals a truth buried by time, but also writes about the perseverance of craftsmen, the changes of the times and the inheritance of life. In the hum of the hair clippers, those unspeakable commitments and sacrifices will eventually find their echo.
