The Jianghu of an Ordinary Man

In this vast world, among its countless people, everyone lives within their own little circle. Life is hardest for those at the bottom of society, especially for the ordinary people who leave their homes to seek a living elsewhere. Whether they are the older generation of farmers who toil in the fields beneath the open sky, or the next generation who head to the city for work, they all struggle to make ends meet. They work hard and fight to get ahead, dreaming that their sweat will change their fate.

Wherever people gather, there are rivalries and entanglements, and the lives of ordinary people are no exception. This book tells the stories of a group of people from humble backgrounds, using a plain, unembellished style to depict life as it really is. Their days are filled with all the petty troubles of daily life, and their relationships are tangled with love, hatred, and heartache. They write one remarkable chapter after another with their own lives.
