Since the establishment of the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, although they have worked hard to govern and expand the territory for more than two hundred years, they have been unable to withstand the squandering of the prodigal descendants. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners had become increasingly arrogant, carrying caged birds, eating and drinking all day long. Visiting the kiln, having a tea party, betting on grasshoppers, and fighting crickets are all just a matter of fun. Ordinary people have to make some money from these gimmicks to supplement their family income. No, here comes a young man. He is illiterate, lazy, greedy and slippery, but there is a point where he can catch crickets. Not only can it catch accurately, but it can also distinguish the good and bad insects. As long as he takes action, he can definitely make money. But how could a young man like him, just an outcast wandering the streets, make a fortune and become a high official? And after experiencing historical events such as the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' arrival in Beijing and the Reform Party's reforms to become stronger, can they still escape unscathed and enjoy themselves? If you want to know the details, please read this book, "Cricket Theory". You won't be disappointed.
