About This Novel

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Second Opium War. In the prosperous Jiangnan-Suzhou, the Gu Binglian family, represented by the textile industry, was persecuted by Su Xiaoyi, a Su family who relied on the country's hard-earned wealth to get rich, and Ye Yicheng, the governor of Jiangsu who had repeatedly framed him for his promotion. However, he also received help from the like-minded Shanghai Police Chief Yang Yusong. It depicts the story of the late Qing Dynasty, when capitalism emerged, and how it sought development under the pressure of feudalism and bureaucracy. Combining family, love, and friendship, this book tells the history of the decline of a prosperous family in the late Qing Dynasty. From another aspect, it also reflects the inevitable withdrawal of the Qing Dynasty from the historical stage.
