Introduction to the novel In 1924, Feng Yuxiang overturned the old dream of the Forbidden City with an order, and also ruined the job of teahouse waiter Tong Jia Tong Kuo (Chinese name Tong Tong Kuo, stage name Tong Kuo). This low-level banner man, a descendant of the Manchurian Yellow Banner, had an ancestor who was a captain of the Forbidden City Guards, but now he can only earn a living by eavesdropping on storytelling. Desperate, he became a disciple and entered the industry. With his unique Manchu-Chinese bilingual skills and super memory, he became a favorite among the old circles of former Qing Dynasties. He specializes in telling jokes such as "Taizu Rises the Army" and "Kangxi Captures Obao", "The Glory of the Qing Palace" and "Make the Qing Dynasty Great Again". But with the dynasty elegy on his lips, Tong Kuo's inner calculations have been shattered by the times: the survivors of September 18th secretly communicated with the Puppet Manchukuo to invite him to "recover the ancestral property", so he turned around and compiled "Yuewu Mu's Fight against the Jin", which made his regular patrons flinch; the puppet farce in Xinjing, the Puppet Manchukuo, shattered his illusions about the "Rejuvenation of Manchuria"; a question from an underground party member made him look from the dragon chair to the street corner. From the dragon-patterned folding fan to the plain "people's" fan, from the opening of Manchu shamanic tunes to the vernacular talk about the sufferings of the people, this storyteller burned old manuscripts from the Qing Dynasty and wrote "New Stories from Mountains and Rivers" to describe the centuries-old national tragedy. During the broadcast of the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Tong Kuo, who was in the advanced stage of lung cancer, smiled and closed his eyes - he finally cut off the "braid" in his throat and changed from a storyteller in the old dynasty to a "people's storyteller" in the new era.
