During the Republic of China, foreign cloth swept across Peiping, and the century-old Zhong family silk and satin shop collapsed overnight! The weavers were in trouble due to unpaid wages, all the customers went to foreign companies, and the warehouses were piled with unsaleable Yun brocade. However, the old father Zhong Dingchen clung to the ancestral motto: I would rather burn down the shop than use new machines!
The second son Zhong Chengzong, who returned from studying abroad, was scolded for "forgetting his ancestors" when he arrived home. The second uncle Zhong Dingfu colluded with foreign businessmen and forced the palace to seize power every day. The boss of the foreign company said: "In three months, the Zhong family will disappear completely!"
On one side is the spit of the conservatives, on the other is the butcher knife of foreign capital. Zhong Chengzong was angry: Ancient laws must be observed, craftsmen must live, and the family and country must not be lost!
He secretly installed the loom late at night, stayed up for three days and nights to test weave, and finally made affordable fine cloth that was "fineer than foreign cloth and cheaper than Yunjin"! As soon as the shop door opened, people rushed to grab it, orders from foreign companies plummeted, and the second uncle's face turned green!
"You traitor!" The old man was about to beat him with a stick, but when he saw the weaver receiving his salary, he burst into tears. Father and son finally joined forces to maintain the cultural heritage of high-end Yunjin, open up new roads with affordable machines, and unite merchants in the city to fight against the monopoly of foreign merchants!
Internal fighting, business wars, conspiracy, and passion are intertwined! Look at the four generations of the Zhong family, using warp and latitude as blades and brocade as armor, weaving the legend of the rise of domestic products in troubled times - what kind of family and country code is hidden in the last brocade?
