Synopsis

The Green Brick House Dream uses literary techniques to create vivid settings and characters, seeking to portray the lives of ordinary people over the forty years of China's reform and opening-up.

Spanning forty years, the story follows eight households in the Liu family compound on Sandao Guai Street in Chengdu, faithfully recreating the loves and hates, joys and sorrows of ordinary people in Chinese society. People centuries from now, looking back on how lives changed during the forty years of reform and opening-up, will find answers in this book.

Beneath the green-brick house lie five boxes of precious cultural relics that went missing during the Palace Museum's southward evacuation in the War of Resistance. A bloody struggle erupts over who owns them. To find out how it ends, read the story.
