Scavengers of All Things

Gold mining is everywhere in the antique street. Everyone is chasing profits, making fakes to make profits, and confusing the real with the fake. Only young Liu Yun goes against the current. He maintains an unknown old shop and masters the ancient restoration skills that are on the verge of extinction. He does not pick up leaks, speculate on goods, or seek fame, but only repairs the broken old things that the world has discarded like worn-out shoes. No one knows that the extraordinary ingenuity in his hands hides the greatest cultural secret of China in a century. The Craftsmen Alliance of the Republic of China was destroyed by a combination of traitors and capital. The orthodox ancient laws were tampered with and the inherited classics were burned. Cross-provincial counterfeiting and black products have been entrenched for hundreds of years, disrupting the craftsmanship, cutting off the cultural context, and deceiving the world. When bad money is rampant in the entire industry and orthodoxy is withering, the young man in the market rises from the mud with a lonely lamp and true heart. Expose layers of counterfeit scams, resist capital siege across the country, travel across mountains and rivers in search of hidden craftsmanship, and tear apart centuries-old cultural history. He broke through thousands of years of sectarian bad habits, established new rules for contemporary craftsmanship, and recast the Chinese craftsmanship that had been broken for centuries. I don't seek to be immortalized and passed down to the world, I just use my own light to continue the eternal craftsmanship, let the ancient methods return to their place, let the craftsmen be respected, and let the cultural heritage continue!
