[Two male protagonists, younger brother] "Jinbang Yanxiang" is not only a hymn for the counterattack of a poor family, but also an epic of civilization spanning three hundred years.
When his brother Lin Yanqing, who was collecting charcoal on a snowy night, met Shen Yunchuan, a young man who had given up business and studied literature, a two-way journey about imperial examinations, business and love began. From the county examination to the palace examination, from the south of the Yangtze River to the court, amidst the encirclement and suppression of the conservatives and the murderous intention of King Duan, they jointly promoted the Ge children examination, the establishment of a sea ban, and the establishment of the New Deal.
But being named on the gold list is not the end. When the undercurrent behind the prosperous age surges, and when the promise faces the test of life and death, they choose to fulfill their vow to "set their hearts for heaven and earth" throughout their lives. From joining hands as teenagers to staying together in old age, from personal struggle to spiritual sustainability - this is a story about equality, reform and true love, and it is also a spark that ignites three hundred years of civilizational change.
The theme is novel and beautiful
