A Scrooge in Troubled Times: a Landlord's Diary of a Money Hoarder

Modern social animals travel through a small mountain village in the late Qing Dynasty, and when they open their eyes, they see a troubled world where plague is raging and banditry is rampant. Watch how Wang Fusheng, a poor boy, clung to his calculations and turned from a refugee fleeing famine into an iron-rooster landlord - stocking grain must be mixed with wheat bran, keeping accounts accurate to the centimeter, and hiding silver dollars deeper than a bandit's den. While others were vying for power, he only loved hoarding money, land and hearts. In the wave of warlord wars and the Japanese invasion of China, he used a cowhide ledger to guard his vast wealth, becoming a legendary miser who "picked" a way out of troubled times.
