The Gods of Linhe Street Recede: Chronicles of Chen Sheng

Born in a water town, he grew up with the spirits of the water town. Chen Sheng was supposed to be a graduate student in ancient literature at a prestigious school in Zhejiang, but instead he plunged into Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, reselling chips and doing foreign trade, making his first pot of gold and opening the most secret door between the world and the gods. From then on, his life was like an out-of-control chronicle: starting a business, becoming rich, going bankrupt, turning over, and falling again; love came and went, and madmen, warlocks, incense groups, folk cults, and ancient Tao chakras appeared one after another. On Linhe Street, gods no longer sit high in the clouds, but quietly appear in vegetable markets, rental houses, wine shops and company account books. Chen Sheng knows a little bit about Taoism and a little bit about business; he believes in fate and also changes fate. As a mortal, he was involved in the gap of the times after the gods receded. He saw with his own eyes the collapse of faith, the transformation of desire into gods, the decay of the old order, and the sprouting of a new world from the ashes. This is not a cool article about a chosen one. This is the half-life history of a Chinese man who fought his way out of youth, money, love, ambition and mysterious power. When the tide of gods recedes, the truly terrifying thing is never the ghosts and gods. But the human world.
