About This Novel

"Brightening the Ages" Strolling along the ancient stone road, you can feel the golden years "weaved" by a strand of silk. In 1842, after Shanghai was established as a treaty port, the intelligent Nanxun people relied on the world-famous "Jili Lake Silk" to move from the bluestone road in their hometown to Shanghai Beach and then to the world, creating the direct Jili Lake Silk. For the first time to go global, a group of extremely wealthy businessmen also emerged. Liu Yong, the richest man commonly known as the "Four Symbols and Eight Bulls", started as an apprentice at the age of 16. Relying on his own intelligence and conduct, in just 16 years, his assets reached the level of wealth that rivals other countries. After becoming rich, Liu Yong did not forget the poor people, and went everywhere to provide relief to the victims, give medicine, bury them, adopt refugees, and redeem orphans and widows. Liu Yong regarded disaster relief as his own medical treatment. The imperial court bestowed the memorial archway of "Being kind and charitable". Liu Yong taught his children well, and his descendants all inherited their father's traditions. His second son, Liu Jinzao, became a scholar at the age of 14 and passed the imperial examination at the age of 28. At the age of 34, he and Zhang Jian of Nantong were admitted to the Jiawu Section. He was a famous "red-top businessman" and a pioneer in the nation's resistance to foreign aggression. Liu Yong's grandson Liu Chengqian not only inherited the fine traditions of his father's generation, but also made important contributions to preserving the original copies of ancient books at all costs. The story is true and has important reference value for studying national industry and traditional culture.
