About This Novel
In the 16th year of Guangxu's reign, the Qing government was weakened and uprisings occurred one after another in various places, especially in Guangdong. There were even more gatherings of parties and groups in the name of clan. At that time, the Qing court strictly prohibited the construction of temples and associations in the name of clan. Mr. Chen Ruinan, an overseas Chinese, missed his homeland and looked north to China. His nostalgia grew stronger, so he packed his bags and returned home resolutely. Since the fallen leaves have returned to their roots, they naturally hope to be blessed by their descendants. He, Chen Zhaonan, Chen Xianglin and other celebrities in Guangzhou's philanthropic circles, as well as officials and gentry such as Chen Botao and Chen Lanbin, initiated the construction of a joint ancestral hall, the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, by gathering the efforts of the Chen family members from 72 counties in Guangdong Province. However, the difficulty of motion, the difficulty of construction, the human heart and the world, and the family's hatred and national calamity are naturally entangled. The work uses this as the main line to bring out the past and present lives of the Chen family.
