Quiet Canal

About This Novel
Landlord Liu Shaotang bought the beautiful Wu Yingyue from Nanjing Yichun Hall with half a pocket of ocean and married her into his second wife. Because of Wu Yingyue's beauty, she attracted the covetation of Zhu Chengguo, nicknamed Zhu Baldzi, a bandit across the river. The story begins with a lot of contradictions. The work tells the story of a village built along the Grand Canal: Liu Village during the Republic of China. There are more than a hundred households in the village, and the four major clans of Liu, Wang, Zhang and Ni, as well as scattered families with small surnames, live here. They have lived on the canal for generations. As the saying goes, they rely on the mountains to eat and the water to drink. The quiet Grand Canal has become the lifeblood of their lives.
