Brother Pao's Old Stories
by Zhang Ming
About This Novel
During the Republic of China, warlords were fighting in a melee, and Sichuan's Pao brothers were everywhere. The Pao brothers became the backbone of protecting the countryside in the troubled times at that time, and they were very ethical. Pao Ge, represented by Huang Qiye and Manmei, struggled to make a living under warlords such as Yang Sen, Liu Wenhui, and Liu Xiang. Originally, everyone followed Paoge's logic and lived in peace with each other until Yang Sen's seventh concubine, Tai Xiaohong, escaped, causing a dispute between Huang Qiye and Manmei's Jintangkou and Yang Sen, and their comfortable life was broken. Yang Sen wanted to develop Chengdu's economy and fulfill his wish to unify the whole of Sichuan, so he imitated Wu Peifu and began to carry out projects such as personality worship. At the same time, he monopolized important economic sources, which made the people dissatisfied, including Qingshui and Zhuoshui Paoge. The conflict between Paoge and Yang Sen was further intensified. Later, Yang Sen sent someone to take over Jintangtangkou, and Yang Sen and Jintangtangkou also formed a feud. In order to take revenge, Manmei teamed up with Xiaohong and hit Yang Sen in the face several times. Man Mei also suddenly became a new generation of heroes in Pao Ge. As Yang Sen's desire to unify the entire Sichuan continues to expand, the conflicts between him and several other major warlords have become increasingly intensified, and a war is imminent. Due to Yang Sen's arrogance and his contempt for Pao Ge's group, he was originally at an advantage and gradually became at a disadvantage. Later, he failed in the war. Liu Xiang entered Chengdu and truly unified the whole Sichuan. According to Pao Ge's logic, he became the boss of the whole Sichuan. Jintang's life returned to peace. This book tells the ups and downs of life of these Pao brothers and the power struggle among the Sichuan warlords, showing the characteristics and charm of Pao brother culture.
