Features: This book is adapted from the traditional Fujian Opera comedy with the same name. It is said that during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, there was a silk thread shop owner named Ma Tieshun in Taizhou, Fuzhou, who was famous for his extraordinary selfishness, stinginess, and miserliness. Ma Tieshun was a money-loving petty merchant who always sought to gain an advantage everywhere. He was an unwise and cunning man who spent his days scheming to take advantage but often ended up in comical misfortunes. As a result, he often caused many laugh-out-loud jokes, and his story spread in the local area. His name, "Uncle Tieshun," has become synonymous with "stingy." The book's humorous and interesting plot, along with its vivid and realistic language, leaves a deep impression, offering both laughter and enlightenment.
