In the late Qing Dynasty, a chance encounter brings together a group of Chinese and foreign young people in the provincial capital of Guangzhou, where they establish the Fengming Detective Agency. Led by the "wild girl" Zheng Ming, these talented young people join forces to unravel the secrets of a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasure map and fight to the death against all manner of evil forces. As they become caught up in historical events, they meet many remarkable figures, including Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and Tan Sitong, and encounter early "Marxism," still in its infancy.
In an era when the nation had fallen into decline, they learn how to face failure and darkness, and how to summon the courage to seek the light even after devastating setbacks. After one mistake and failure after another, generations carry on the struggle, finally realizing that only one path can lead to the light and bring the nation back to life. We cannot content ourselves with fantasizing about a once-powerful past while refusing to face the humiliation of a century ago. This history, steeped in humiliation, is what every Chinese person should engrave in their heart most of all.
The content is rich and the story is well-structured; it's worth reading.

This book, exceeding 400,000 words, possesses strong intellectual, educational, artistic, and entertainment value. Its ingenious conception demonstrates meticulous effort, particularly in its ability to connect several major events of that era in my country using a detective agency and vividly describe them—a truly remarkable feat. It is well worth reading. We look forward to seeing more excellent works published.
