Everyone knows about the "Four Big Families" of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Dynasty, Confucius and Chen during the Republic of China, but how many people know that there are also "Four Small Families" in Xikou Town, Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, Chiang Kai-shek's hometown? This little-known secret history of the Republic of China tells the story of Chiang Kai-shek's rise to power in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his fortune in Huangpu, his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the purge of the Party and the suppression of the Communist Party. The key point is that during this period, his true confidants were not the "Five Tiger Generals" such as Chen Cheng and Liu Zhi, nor the "secret minions" such as Dai Li Kangze, but a group of men known as the "Xikou Gang". These people followed Chiang Kai-shek out of Xikou, fought for world supremacy, and relied on Chiang Kai-shek to gain important power. In front of them, Chen Cheng had to be polite, while Dai Li could only be respectful. When the weather is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be misfortune. The "Xikou Gang" has become more and more powerful as its power and wealth have increased day by day. It attacks political opponents and eliminates dissidents internally; it creates terror and massacres people externally. It made people angry and resentful. It also indirectly affected the stability of Chiang Kai-shek's power, and made him think of cutting his own wings to avoid losing his tail. After several rounds of brutal political struggles, the black eagle dogs of the "Xikou Gang" gradually lost power, and their power status was replaced by a new generation of eagle dogs such as Dai Li...

"The Bank on Chaotianmen" is another masterpiece by writer Shen Pingzhi after "Once Upon a Time in Chongqing". It takes the opening of Chongqing (1891) to the early days of the founding of New China as the historical background, focuses on the financial changes in the Chaotianmen area, and weaves a magnificent picture of financial history through the fate of three bankers, Yang Cansan, Kang Xinru, and Liu Hangchen. On the land with a radius of only one or two kilometers around Chaotianmen Pier, 233 financial institutions were once gathered, which was historically known as the "Wall Street" of China's rear area. When you check in at the internet-famous attractions in Chaotianmen, you can imagine the grand scene where banks were lined up and merchants gathered here a hundred years ago; when you stroll through the bustling Hongya Cave, you can think of the dock teahouses and financial games described in the book. The novel takes the Yang family's Juxingcheng Bank, Kang Xinru's leading Bank Meifeng, and Liu Hangchen's integrated Chuankang Bank as the main line, unfolding the intertwined destinies of the three parties. Yang Cansan inherited his father's business and developed Juxingcheng from a traditional bank into a modern commercial bank. After experiencing bank runs, warlords' apportionment, and family strife, he always adhered to the belief of "deeply cultivating the west"; Kang Xinru took charge of the Sino-US joint venture Meifeng Bank and withdrew foreign capital. Surviving in the cracks of separation and frequent wars, Liu Hangchen showed extraordinary business wisdom and national integrity; Liu Hangchen relied on his relationship with the warlord Liu Xiang to integrate banks such as Sichuan Salt and Sichuan Kang, completed the transformation from politics to business, and became a "tycoon" in the financial world. In Chongqing, the "wartime financial center" during the Anti-Japanese War, they faced major historical events such as currency reform, debt-raising turmoil, and the Liji Consortium trend. They finally made different choices in the tide of the times. Some welcomed new life, while others left sadly, and together they composed a symphony of destiny for a generation of Chongqing businessmen. The author uses delicate brushwork to restore the market atmosphere and financial situation of old Chongqing, which has both professional and rigorous historical data value and a vivid and tortuous storyline. This is not only a financial novel, but also an "in-depth travel guide to Chongqing" that takes you from the appearance of internet celebrities to the core of the city.
