The Water on the Eaves Is Still There

In the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty, the Lu family clung to the old lintel and still wanted to live a decent life. But the man who is regarded as the backbone of the family has little ambition and little responsibility; he only cares about face and refuses to bow his head. He thought he could revitalize the family business, but in his repeated recklessness and evasion, he pushed the Lu family into decline. And the woman who silently runs the house is the one who truly protects the Lu family from wind and rain. She counted every penny, endured every humiliation, and swallowed many unknown grievances. She is not a heroine in a legend, but an ordinary woman who desperately supports her family in troubled times. But precisely because of her ordinaryness, her support is even more heavy. This is the beginning of the Lu Family Trilogy, which describes the urban fireworks of Tianjin Wei in the late Qing Dynasty, the ups and downs of the family, and the fate of men and women. It is not about a spectacular defeat, but how a family is slowly consumed by incompetence, pride and vanity. The decline of family fortunes begins with the collapse of people's hearts.
