Introduction to the work "San Gabriel Evening Breeze"
"San Gabriel Evening Breeze" is a cross-border realistic novel based on the century-old history of Chinese immigration in the San Gabriel Valley, California, USA. The work adopts a three-line parallel structure of past, present and future, connecting the wanderings, struggles and roots of four generations of Chinese people, and panoramicly revealing the real living ecology of Chinese people in North America.
The novel takes Ding Yanren, a cross-border financial and tax compliance expert and technology entrepreneur as the core protagonist, and is based in the Chinese community in Los Angeles. It deeply restores the sharp realities of overseas notarization chaos, audit loan fraud, tripartite conspiracy to commit fraud, cross-border tax gray arbitrage, and immigration status involution.
From the forbearance and vicissitudes of a century of Chinese workers pioneering the land, to the interest game involved in the contemporary Chinese gold rush, to the future disruption of technological compliance that reshapes the industry order, the story opens up the fate of Jiangxi's hometown clan culture, Beijing's professional circles, and Los Angeles' cross-border business district.
The work breaks out of the routine of immigration novels and uses realistic writing to directly attack the unspoken rules of the industry and the grayscale of human nature. It tells the story of a generation of professional intellectuals who set rules with technology, break chaos with the bottom line, and determine the way back with their original intentions. During the century-old ups and downs of San Gabriel, it describes the transformation of the Chinese people from wandering and chasing profit to taking root, establishing order, and returning to their ancestors.
