Yunjindu

"Yunjin Crossing" is a novel with the background from the Anti-Japanese War to the founding of New China. It shows a magnificent historical picture through the changes in fate of Shen Yunjin, the young owner of Ruifuxiang Silk and Cloth Storehouse in Peking, and his family in the torrent of the times. The novel starts from the eve of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 and ends in 1950, the early days of the founding of New China. After the fall of Peiping, Shen Yunjin and his wife Lu Shutong fled to Chongqing, struggling to survive the bombing and hardship. He met Zhang Mingde, an underground party member, and began to contribute to the anti-Japanese cause as a businessman, growing into a staunch warrior in dangerous missions. His father, Shen Bo'an, kept the store alone for eight years, looking forward to his son's return every day; before his death, the old accountant, Old Zheng, left silver coins and entrusted them to be passed down; his comrade-in-arms, Old Wu, was arrested and sacrificed, with his last words "Live for me and watch that day". In 1949, Shen Yunjin returned to Peking with her family, reunited with her father, and fulfilled her promise to "see you in Peiping" with Zhang Mingde. Ruifuxiang reopened, and the jujube trees in the backyard still bear fruit every year. He buried three silver coins - Lao Zheng's, Guangda Huaxing's, and Zhang Mingde's - under the tree as a memory of the deceased. The lights of Ruifuxiang are always on, just like those ordinary people who keep their true intentions in troubled times, their stories are worth remembering.
