Big Salt Merchant

About This Novel
"The Great Salt Merchant" is a long historical novel with an epic flavor and full of southern Sichuan regional customs written by the famous writer Fu Heng. The book takes the "Salt Capital" in southern Sichuan during the Republic of China as the background, and uses elements such as salt wells, salt merchants, salt gangs, Japanese invaders, bandits, and the struggles and love of low-level people as leads to construct a rather grand story. Using a legendary secret book for digging salt wells as a clue, it vividly unfolds the intergenerational entanglements between the Shu family and the Gong family in the salt capital. The Japanese invaders attacked, and the era was in turmoil. The two families shared the same hatred and showed their righteousness in the autumn of troubled times. A city that lives on salt prospers and declines because of salt. Salt carries not only the glory of a family, but also the indomitable heroic spirit of a group of people.
