After liberation, they struggled in vain against the tide of financial nationalization, ultimately accepting the inevitable downfall of the silver shop. It features both the graceful and delicate Shanghai style and the enduring passion that brings honor to the family. Zhu Xiaolin sets the story against the backdrop of the tumultuous era, recreating the subtle attitudes of ordinary people toward "gold and silver" in the fading folk details.
