The Wind Rises in Yongcheng

"The Wind Rises in Yongcheng" In the third year of Tongzhi, Ningbo scholar Chen Yumen improved mahjong and set the rules of 136 cards. Before his death, he passed an old set of cards to his third son and told him to "keep it, someone will come to you one day to ask for it." From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the Anti-Japanese War to New China, from reform and opening up to the Internet era - a deck of cards, five generations, one hundred and eighty-six years. Some people spend their whole lives making cards, some spend half their lives passing cards, some use freedom to exchange cards for dignity, and some use technology to pass cards to protect their lives. They don't know each other, but in different eras and in different corners, they are doing the same thing: keeping this deck of cards alive. This is not a book that teaches you how to play mahjong. This is a novel about "guarding". Keep a deck of cards, a craft, a culture, and the roots of a nation. The east wind has risen and will not cease for a hundred years.
