The Fish and Dragon Dance of the Sea Kingdom

A chronicle about the history of a maritime country, and a legend about lust and confusion. No time travel is no joke. In 1899, the dark night was ending and the dawn had not yet dawned. Italian warships broke into Sanmen Bay in eastern Zhejiang and forced the town of Haishan to rent at the mouth of the bay, declaring it the newly built "Venice of the East". In the Forbidden City, in order to solve the financial crisis and the problem of the emperor's heir, the Queen Mother and the Emperor ordered to go out to the East China Sea to search for the mysterious island in the Great Heguixu. For a time, the sea area was noisy and full of phantoms. Vatican missionaries, Western adventurers, bankers, and Japanese military surveyors came here with their own missions. The powerful officials of the Qing emperor, local gentry and bureaucrats, monks and Taoists, merchants and pirates, gangs and parties, prostitutes and actors, and even fishermen, salt people and degenerate people were all involved in the chaotic situation. The mysterious island carries the desire for power, sex and wealth, like a ghost drifting in the East China Sea. Fish and dragons compete and evolve, the flowers of ideals and future choices are created and destroyed one by one at the end of the human heart. In persistence and loss, civilizations collide and merge with each other, starting a new path. Fireworks fill the landscape of mountains and seas, love is entangled with life and death, and a magnificent song of life is written. The past is finally gone and the future is coming.
