About This Novel

This book is written about the experiences and actions of a quack doctor Tie Ying (also known as Lao Can) during his travels. The old cripple makes a living by practicing medicine, and wanders around the world while ringing his bells. He was a man of indifference and did not enter an official career, but he was concerned about the fate of the country and the nation. He also had a clear sense of right and wrong and was chivalrous and courageous. He sympathized with the suffering of the people and did his best to save the people from the fire and water. Following Lao Can's footsteps, we can clearly see the social life in Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty in the book, and we can also discover some social contradictions in the old days.
