In the winter of 1938, Shanghai fell.
Shen Yunzhi is twenty-two years old, the son of the owner of Suzhou Sauce Garden, and the youngest auditor of China Commercial Bank. He knows how to settle accounts and nothing else.
The day the Japanese took over the bank, he made only one request: let him continue to audit the accounts.
From then on he had two accounts. One is for Japanese people and one is for Chinese people.
He never fired a shot. But every number he wrote on the account was followed by several lives. A fraction of three cents can save four people or kill forty people.
All of Shanghai called him a traitor. His mother erased his name from the family tree in Suzhou.
It wasn't until the morning of September 9, the 34th year of the Republic of China, that someone opened the bathroom door and said to him: Mr. Shen, come with me.
He finally said "Okay".
He has been waiting for this day for seven years.
