1979: I Run a Shop in Liulichang

Was it possible to open an antique shop privately in 1979?

What does Qianlong Tongbao have to do with my national roots and soul?

I don't understand the point of this childhood friend. I don't see what use he is. He gives me a big house, a good job, and even helps me find a wife. Are you trying to be a father figure? You don't even treat your own son this well; it's disgusting.

Instead of focusing on writing about antiques, you write about nonsensical political plots. You're quite talented, but is this even a theme?

What are you even reading? Starting the story with a stranger digging for money, you probably won't survive past chapter 20. You're probably pretty reckless in real life too. 😵

Private antique shops weren't approved to operate until after 1985, so your timing is incorrect.

What's the use of having a lackey? High salary, getting arrested and then getting people out of jail, and even a detached courtyard house for marriage? Where the hell can I find a brother like that?

You could either move the date back a bit, or provide some supporting evidence. Getting stuck on 1979... Or even 1980 would be fine. Readers wouldn't think you're out of touch with reality or don't do your research.

With this kind of ability, being an antique dealer would be a waste of talent. Even becoming a master appraiser or a wealthy person would be a sign of a lack of vision. This ability could accomplish things that many history professors cannot: reconstructing history. In the field of archaeology, you would be a unique genius, a living textbook example. There's no need to live as a slave to money.

It's all nonsense, jumping from one topic to another.
