Beijing Tide Rises and Falls

The Ups and Downs of Beijing traces back to Beijing in the 1990s, and unfolds a picture of the ups and downs of business and life amid the collision of state-owned and individual tides. Zhao Qixuan, who was born in a hutong, started his business by selling southern jewelry with the cleverness of an old Beijinger. He integrated cloisonne, palace lanterns and other traditional crafts into the design, and worked hand in hand with Sun Peng to make "Beijing style fashion" famous. But when his career took off, family conflicts ensued, and he and his wife continued to disagree on the education of their children. After entering the high-end market, he and Shanghai businessman Ye Wanqing went from fierce competition to secret love.

The novel depicts Beijing's changes from alleys to commercial streets with delicate brushstrokes, portrays the emotional changes of the characters under the tide of the times, and uses Zhao Qixuan's tortuous experience to explore the impact of the times on personal values, triggering thoughts on life, family and career.
