"Golden Shanghai" is set in the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the 20th century, with the Ningbo businessmen who dominated Shanghai as the protagonist, and the financial industry (banks, banks, stock markets) as the main battlefield. It slowly unfolds an era painting with the main lines of wealth, life, family and country, love and hatred, justice and grievances.
In 1905, four promising young men, Wu Tingju, Fu Shunan, Chen Jiong, and Zhang Hu, came to Shanghai with different dreams. They chose different paths in life because of their different circumstances, ambitions, and realms. The frustrated scholar Wu Jingju was infiltrated by the Confucian ideal of economic development and benefiting the people. After dreaming of the imperial examination, he participated in industrial salvation, started as an apprentice in Guhang, and became a financial giant controlling Shanghai's banking industry. He wanted to make the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce a pure business organization with dignity and benefiting the people; The upper-class society wants to control Shanghai's banking industry and realize its dream of becoming a prosperous person; Zhang Hu, who is full of evil spirits, worships the Chinese inspector from the concession as his master, shows off his fists on the beach, opens up a world, and wants to establish a set of underworld systems that do whatever he wants; Chen Jiong is committed to overthrowing the Qing Dynasty's revolutionary feat, regaining Shanghai, and building a new world dominated by revolutionaries...
Years have passed and ten years have passed. Have their dreams come true? Have their goals been achieved?
Reader comments
The story of this book is so exciting! It reminds me of a relative of mine who also worked hard in Shanghai and experienced many setbacks and difficulties. The characters in the book all have their own dreams and goals, which resonated with me. I think life should be like them, constantly striving to pursue one's ideals. Also, the historical background of this book is interesting and gave me a deeper understanding of that era. I recommend everyone to read this book "Golden Shanghai". I believe you will also gain a lot and gain insights.
