At the end of the Qing Dynasty in Tianjin, there was a turbulent situation at the bottom of the Jiuhe River. The tea merchant Shen Mo is gentle and wise, the three heroic horse dealers value justice, and the doctor Bai Miaochun is kind and helpful to the world. The three of them met unexpectedly in the streets of troubled times, and because of a plague rescue operation, they made a bloody alliance in front of the Guandi Temple and became "big brothers".
From jointly transporting medicinal materials and leather goods to get the first pot of gold, to outsmarting the dangerous situation framed by opium; from fighting the epidemic together to protect the people, to first understanding the dark shadow of opium's harm to the country. Faced with the strife of the Cao Gang, the schemes of profiteers, and the intrusion of foreign goods, the three brothers took "faith, benevolence, and righteousness" as their contract, the fragrance of tea as their strategy, the horse's whining as their strength, and their benevolence as their foundation. They firmly steered the ship together in the stormy sea of commerce and rivers and lakes.
This book uses passionate love as a pen to paint a majestic picture of the people in the late Qing Dynasty protecting morality and tempering true feelings. The ups and downs at Jinmen Wharf will eventually forge a brotherly alliance that will shake the times.
