Pan Chengxiu prides himself on being the most crassly commercial merchant of the Thirteen Hongs. In an era when men shave their foreheads and wear queues, and cloth must be washed three times before it can be worn, he strides about in a suit with his short hair flowing free. From scenic towers and riverside estates to islands, ships, and workshops, he has truly become rich enough to rival a nation. Merchants have always been somewhat selfish, and before meeting Qi Li, he had never thought he would have anything to do with the fate of this era.
Qi Li was sent to England to study as a child. When he returned to his homeland, full of ambition, he discovered it was already in tatters.
A meeting of dazzling wealth and bright, clear principles: because of the word "opium," the two are bound tightly together.
Pan Chengxiu: "In this chaotic world, I will keep Qi Li safe."
Qi Li: "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains whole. Chengxiu, peace is hard won. Whatever you do, never swallow opium."
"Protect our splendor in this great age. Qi Li and Chengxiu, never swallow opium."
We share weal and woe and live in peace for the rest of our lives. This book really shocked me! Profound intention! What I saw was Qi Li who gave up everything to save the country and the people. Pan Chengxiu dedicated everything to his love and his country. There is also Lin An who died of swallowing poison, and Hui who went to hell with his beloved... So on, over and over again... They did go through many ups and downs on the road. I thought this book would be written about the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. Maybe this is the best ending. I like this article! "The courtiers have paid their respects, and I have been passing each other." I met you in the world of gold and jade, so I only wish to share the bright moon and the clear wind, and live as a guest in Penglai.
Again, a good book needs no introduction, and a good review needs no words.
This book is really good. When Lin An left, I had a heart attack. Mr. Hui worked so hard for the court and the country, and lost his lover, but in the end he was killed on an outrageous charge. I really cried. Anyway, Mr. Hui went to find Xiao Anzi, and they were reunited. Let's stay together for the rest of our lives. Blessings.
It's really beautiful 😘 😘 Qi Li Chengxiu, Lin An Hui Ye, the relationship between them was unique in that era 🥺 🥺 🥺, but Lin An and Hui Ye are no longer 😢 😢 😢. There is happiness and regret in a book. Qi Li used his actions to gain Chengxiu's awakening. After a series of developments, they finally shared weal and woe. Lin An also swallowed Ya in order to match Hui Ye, but at the expense of himself, they both risked their lives for each other. So touching 😢 😢 😢
People have their ups and downs, the moon waxes and wanes, and the endings are good and bad. It would be perfect if Hui Ye and Wu Qing didn't have to die to become a couple.
It's super beautiful, both the writing and the storyline are very good. It's worth watching❤️. They not only have a deep and undying love for each other, but also a passion for the country❤️. The author vividly describes that era of devastation, the incompetence and cowardice of the last Qing Dynasty court, and the selfishness and indifference of human nature❤️.
This book is well written and each character has his or her own personality. In the face of the national crisis, the protagonists' psychological experiences range from saving the country to recognizing the reality. The greed of high-ranking people, the suffering of ordinary people, the efforts of people with lofty ideals... (The deputy CP is really kind-hearted, and Wu Qing)
It's great to watch. An An and Hui Ye are a bit confused.
In the end, it ended with tears 😢 😢 😢 Why didn't the hateful scholar let Lin An live? Why did Master Hui and Master Wu have to be sacrificed in the end, who is five points like Lin An? It's so sad 😢 😢 😢
Good book, good stuff, not a loss if you invest in it. It has individualism and strong patriotic feelings, there is perfection, and there are also many regrets and insights about the times. It is a good read and I love reading it, but I feel that there are always some holes that have not been completed. For example, why did Shou, one of the deputy CPs, die the first time? Maybe I haven't read enough of the book, and I always feel like I skipped some places, but I still highly recommend reading it.
