It was also a time when the gap between rich and poor grew even wider. The wealthy lived in luxury, while the poor crowded into subdivided flats and cage homes. Jiang Muzhi and her family are crammed into a tiny tenement in Kowloon. Eleven people share thirty square meters, and she doesn't even have a bed of her own. At night, she has to share the dining table with her cousin. There's barely room to breathe, but they can't split up the family. No one can afford Hong Kong's exorbitant rent. At least the family still has a framing shop. In the old days, Grandma supported her children with her extraordinary framing skills. But now Grandma is old and can no longer work. The next generation's skills are all mediocre. They can't restore paintings or calligraphy, or even do basic framing properly. So the older relatives try to persuade Grandma to close the shop. It's small, but at least they could fit a few beds inside, couldn't they? Grandma takes Jiang Muzhi's hand and weeps, saying the Jiang family framing shop's name will be ruined on her watch.

As soon as the scroll is unrolled, she hears the System say: 【A painting and calligraphy work in the antique style. Date: last week.】 Jiang Muzhi: … It turns out the collector's young grandson damaged the artwork, then secretly bought a fake to replace it. The original had already been cut into dozens of pieces by the little troublemaker. The collector is so heartbroken he nearly keels over on the spot.

My Muzhi can do that.” · Before long, the world's cultural heritage community knows that Hong Kong is home to an antique restorer with extraordinary skills.
