Description:
Gao Qian-Sheng was born into a down-and-out scholar's family in Baning. Steeped in poetry and ritual from childhood, he worked as a tung-oil hand at the Baning oil press of the "Xinglong" trading house. The years at the press not only built his strength but let him taste all five flavors of life, and so he grew into a man upright and quick-witted, ready to right wrongs. He later entered the world of commerce and rose to become the foremost household of Baning.
Through his life, tangled, sorrowful and joyful love affairs unfolded between him and three women: Tong Hua, the farmer's daughter he had known since childhood; Yu Xiang, the daughter of a Paoge elder; and the refined, well-read Miss Qing Lian, an assistant at "Xinglong." Show more In the end, to save him, Tong Hua did not shrink from betraying her own husband, and it drove her to madness...; Yu Xiang, trying to keep pace with her husband, outsmarted herself, and to make him remember her in life and death, perished together with his enemy...; Miss Qing Lian could not escape fate's hand either, and in the end had to leave the man she admired and go far away to a foreign land...
Over his decades in the world of trade, these women gave him boundless tenderness and more than once saved him from hopeless straits. For the survival and growth of "Xinglong," a enterprise centuries old, he time and again let love slip by and chose the battles of commerce. And when faced with a national crisis, he resolutely set fire to "Xinglong," to which he had devoted his life's strength.
From a tung-oil hand he became a seasoned merchant, toying with foreign firms and local traders in the palm of his hand, maneuvering among high officials and tycoons, waging hidden strife and life-and-death struggles without smoke or fire — motley, endless, full of gains and losses...
