It tells the story of Chen Mo, the son of a craftsman, who transcribed tens of thousands of test papers for the imperial examination in ten years. He learned hundreds of schools of knowledge from the ink marks of Chinese characters without any teacher, using the method of a blind man touching an elephant. In the year of the competition, he entered the examination room under the name "Mo Chen" with an article that no one could understand but that contained a thunderous change. The publication of this article shocked the government and the public, and his origin as a craftsman touched the deepest taboo of the imperial examination for three hundred years.
