Fan Jingtang, a poor young man from Ningbo who drove a sampan on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, was kind and honest, and he was lucky enough to find money. He was chosen by Bole. From then on, he worked hard to start a business and made grassroots counterattacks, becoming a powerful business giant and leader in Shanghai. What's the secret to his success?
Behind his bright halo, he was frightened every step of the way. He was repeatedly framed, slandered, set on fire, kidnapped, and intercepted by the villain Ye Zhikang. Fan Jingtang received help from all his friends, and he was always tolerant of villains. Shanghai fell, and Ye Zhikang became the financial director of the puppet city government. Fan Jingtang took action decisively, avenging the country's hatred and family hatred. How did he plan to kill the traitors?
He secretly joined the Tongmenghui, the first uprising of 1911, and donated millions of taels to the revolutionary party. For the recovery of Shanghai, he charged forward. Why did he win the reputation of "a seal from the Taoist platform is not as good as a letter from Fan Jingtang"?
Fan Jingtang married two wives and two concubines successively, and they all lived in seclusion. His encounter, love and marriage with four beauties each have different stories.
During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to prevent the invasion of Japanese warships, Fan Jingtang donated 17 ships to sink in the Huangpu River and Yangtze River waterways. He took the lead in donating money to purchase five fighter planes, organizing volunteer armies, medical teams, and shelters to maintain local order. He sent his son to join the army and became a heroic father. He personally led 60 small steamers to support the Yichang retreat.
In order to efficiently transport international strategic materials, Fan Jingtang, who was in his seventies, ignored the dissuasion of his family and friends, braved dangerous road conditions and Japanese bombings, and ran on the difficult and dangerous Burma Highway. When will you come back again?
Reader comments
The overall storyline is smooth and makes people want to read on. The protagonist is positive and optimistic, has tenacity, thoughts and actions, and can still overcome all difficulties in turbulent times and move towards success step by step. Such a life of ups and downs is very exciting! Worth learning for modern young people...
Tianya Tuoying writes historical facts, and his professionalism is admirable. The old man is brave and ambitious, and his ambition is thousands of miles. Build monuments for local sages and biographies for famous people. What a great contribution!
With his smooth writing style, the author condenses the grand narrative of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and before and after the Anti-Japanese War by shaping the ups and downs of Fan Jingtang's life. It is a book that makes people excited and admired.
The novel has a clear context and has two lines. One takes time as its warp, and takes Greater Shanghai from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China to the invasion of foreign powers, the establishment of concessions, and the victory of the Anti-Japanese War as its latitude. Comprehensively describe the struggle between the business community (open line) and the great powers (hidden line). Show the magnificent life and death of the nation. The other line is based on the life-and-death contest between Fan Jingtang and Ye Zhikang, showing Fan's magnanimity and Ye's despicability.
Although the business tycoon's deeds are a summary of Shanghai's famous celebrities, he still feels like a national hero. Broad-minded, noble, loyal and filial, upright and innocent.
Thank you Tianya Tuoying for your hard work. His decades of life accumulation and skillful writing will surely be preserved for future generations.
The structure is clear and the content is fascinating, worth reading.
