Duplicity in the Ming Dynasty

Li Baoku is from Ji Province. He said he was from Ji Province, but actually he didn't know where he was from. More than 20 years ago, his adoptive father, who was a rag picker in Yandu, picked him up from the trash can outside the public toilet. The adoptive father and mother were both in elementary school and couldn't come up with a nice name. At that time, Liu Laogen was popular on TV. Based on his surname, Li, his adoptive father casually gave him a name that was familiar and popular among people across the country. From then on, the name Li Baoku accompanied him throughout his life. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
