Features: This is a long novel reflecting the five generations of gold prospecting and guarding gold by the Zhaoyuan Cong family. The Zhaoyuan Cong family was originally descendants of the Xiongnu, who were granted the surname Jin after assimilating into the Han dynasty. Later, after failing in their rebellion against Cao Cao, they fled to Donghai Buxingcheng (now the area of Zhaoyuan Cong Village) and changed their surname to Cong. Through the rise and fall of a gold-prospecting family, the novel depicts the profound historical changes of the Chinese nation over more than 100 years, from the late Qing Dynasty through the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the Cultural Revolution, the Reform and Opening Up, to the present day in the 21st century. It showcases the heroic sacrifices and contributions of the Chinese nation in pursuit of a better life. The indomitable and upright virtues demonstrated by the Cong family are precisely the intrinsic roots that sustain the continuous and resilient survival of the Chinese nation.
