The First Clan: the Millennium Growth History of the Liu Family

In 878 AD, Huang Chao's army approached Chang'an and settled down. Liu Mingyi sold his ancestral home. The world laughed at the three things he got in exchange: a passport, a box of medicinal materials, and a teacher. No one thought that this trivial choice would start a family's counterattack for thousands of years - "History has no answers, only choices. We have chosen, and that is enough." This is an epic family portrait, telling how the Liu family made its own way at every crossroads in history - not relying on predicting the future, only relying on summarizing the past; not competing for emperors and generals, but only seeking to perpetuate the bloodline. From Chang'an to Nanhai, from abacus to steam engine, they used the dumbest inheritance to write the smartest history of survival. Also known as "The First Clan"
