Lin Qiushui, a special soldier in his previous life, is an orphan in a courtyard in this life.
His parents left him three things - a three-in-one courtyard house, a front shop, and peerless medical skills.
But his most valuable trump card is the historical memory in his mind that spans forty years.
In 1955, 18-year-old Lin Qiushui made his official debut in the courtyard house of Hongxing Hutong.
Faced with Yan Bugui's calculations, he stopped with one word; faced with Jia Zhang's blackmail, he backhandedly established the rules; faced with Yi Zhonghai's scrutiny, he remained motionless.
Jia Dongxu broke his leg due to a work injury and the hospital wanted to amputate it. He publicly said: "I can cure it."
The whole hospital was shocked.
From then on, this young man's name became the most disturbing thing in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu's tears, Xu Huizhen's shrewdness, Chen Xueru's fierceness, Lou Xiao'e's gentleness, Ran Qiuye's intellectuality, Yu Li's forbearance, Yu Haitang's stubbornness - seven women, seven styles, how will he place them?
Xu Damao's insidiousness, Jia Zhang's greed, Yi Zhonghai's city, Liu Haizhong's clinging, Yan Bugui's calculations, Fan Jinyou's ambition, He Yongqiang's paranoia - seven villains, seven levels of suffering, how will he crush them?
From public-private partnership to reform and opening up, from Siheyuan to the whole of China, Lin Qiushui worked step by step and left no stone unturned.
This is a history of a small person's fortune, and it is also an ukiyo-e of an era.
Black-bellied, murderous, protective of shortcomings, passionate.
The autumn water in the courtyard is long and the sky is long. Let's see how he turns over the clouds and rains, smiling proudly in the world of mortals.
It's really excellent
