The author attempts to use this book "Old Things Before Flowers" to gain a glimpse of Binwa's journey from country to city, from hunger and cold to food and clothing, from farmer to worker, as well as the protagonist's vigorous behavior and the rise and fall of his family. And to remind everyone, we compiled a true story of old Chongqing factory workers: "Never forget our past."
From the hundreds of years of events that have passed before our eyes, we have captured Binwa's family as the main line. Based on Binwa's super memory and personality that would rather bend than bend, he buries a dark thread that sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, including opium and brothels, as well as his deep-seated hatred and aversion to them, which makes the hidden thread longer in the book.
