Tung seed flowers bloom

Born in a family of down-and-out scholars in Banin Prefecture, Gao Gansheng, a tung oil worker at the Baning Oil Shop of the "Xinglong" trading company who was influenced by poetry and etiquette since childhood, not only developed a strong body but also experienced the five flavors of life while working in the oil shop. In his life, he had romantic relationships with his childhood sweetheart, the farm girl Tonghua, the uncle's daughter Yuxiang, and the well-educated "Xinglong" assistant Miss Qinglian. The three women had tortuous love entanglements, joys and sorrows. In the end, Tonghua betrayed her husband in order to save him, leading to mental disorder...; Yuxiang made a mistake in order to keep up with her husband, and in order to make her husband remember her life and death, she finally died with her husband's enemy...; Miss Qinglian still did not escape the mercy of fate, and finally had to leave the person she loved and go to a foreign country... During his decades of business career, these women gave him infinite tenderness and saved him from desperate situations several times. In order to survive and develop the centuries-old "Xinglong" foundation, he missed love again and again and chose business war. Faced with the national crisis, he resolutely burned or burned the "Xinglong" that he had devoted his whole life to. He turned from a small tung oil worker into a business veteran, engaging in foreign trade and local businessmanship.
