About This Novel
The sky is blue, and a few white clouds are as lazy as sheep, sleeping on the sky. On Yangcheng Street, pedestrians with Q-shaped braids come and go. The "Gengzi Indemnity" devastated the Qing Dynasty. The pressure of the huge indemnity forced the court to continue to impose arbitrary pretexts on the working people, and imposed arbitrary taxes. People complained privately but could do nothing. After most people scolded them, they had to do whatever they had to do. For some families with good conditions, morning tea and late night snacks were also indispensable. Although the poor peddlers and lackeys had no snacks like "phoenix feet and pig guts" to eat, a bowl and a half of salted fish porridge and dried vegetables and sweet potatoes could satisfy their hunger. This stems from the Cantonese people's open-mindedness that "there will always be things that go wrong in life, and you will be covered when the sky falls." Even so, love and hate are written on the sallow and vegetable green faces.
