On the banks of the Wulong River, among the mountains, there is a place known as Hualin Town. It was originally a logging area, where people lived peacefully. Due to the incompetence of the Qing government, the surrounding areas were occupied by the Japanese and Russians, and many tortuous stories of love and hatred took place. Later, the rich iron mine red stone was discovered. The owner of the mine, Mr. Jin, laid out the plan. With the help of the doctor Liu Zhifu, the lumberjack He Ye, the chief escort Kui Erye and others, he first sealed the mine tightly and no outsiders were allowed to enter. Then he cleverly allowed the Japanese and Russians to obtain mine samples, convincing them that the red stone was a treasure house of resources. When selling, it was stipulated not to sell to foreigners, forcing Japan and Russia to find Chinese agents. Finally, the mine was sold to the Japanese agent Liu Deshun at 20 times the original price, that is, 2 million taels of silver. When the Japanese happily mined it, they found that the mine only contained iron on the surface, and the main body was composed of volcanic rocks, which was worthless. The Japanese manipulator Takahashi Takeso not only spent a lot of money, but also got nothing in the end. The worthless mines nominally belonged to the Chinese agent Liu Deshun. Takahashi could only get angry and retaliate and kill, but several Chinese people he really hated had already left Hualin Town.
