About This Novel
In the 1940s, wars raged, times changed, and the family declined, leaving only Chen Shuyu living alone in the old house. Old houses that have fallen into disrepair have become empty and dilapidated. The old house is a large Qing Dynasty building with a large and complex layout and exquisite stone and wood carvings. Repairing it is a heavy burden. Without skilled craftsmen and sufficient funds, it would be impossible to start. Chen Shuyu cannot afford it and wants to hand over the precious historical relic of the old house to the state because it has no independent property rights. The fate of the old house was once again on hold, and things went round and round and returned to the starting point. Chen Shuyu's personal history is the epitome of millions of Shanghai industrialists and merchants, and is also a footnote to the vicissitudes of Shanghai, a prosperous city, for more than half a century. Together with Chen Shuyu, the "Four Little Kais in the West Wing" each went through a bumpy life path. They are a grain of sand under the impact of the waves of the great era, helpless and helpless. They are also the smallest factors in the big world. Even if they experience impact and collapse, they will eventually return to their original state.
