[Edit this paragraph] Content and summary

"A Muslim family, the rise and fall of 60 years, the ups and downs of the fate of three generations, two love tragedies that took place in different times and have different contents but are intertwined. "Two story lines, the joys and sorrows of a big family, interweave and overlap, flowing from the author's pen." A door, across two worlds. "-one is the world of jade, and the other is the world of moon. Huo Da wrote such a shocking work with interspersed brushwork, showing us the unique customs and life course of Muslims, describing the "performances", tragedies, comedies and endless hours of the Hui people on the stage of life, and reflecting their endless strong national cohesion and centripetal force.

Liang Yiqing, the owner of Qizhenzhai, an old jade shop in the ancient capital Beijing, was originally a low-level jade carving artist of the Hui nationality. There are two daughters in his family. The eldest daughter, Jun Bi, is good at calculation, and the second daughter, Kethleen, is petite and willful. One day, an elder took a teenager on a pilgrimage to Mecca and passed by Liang's home. The teenager was attracted by the exquisite jade and decided to stay as an apprentice. This is the protagonist of this book, Han. Master and apprentice are making an order, which is a custom-made "Zheng He Sailing Boat" for Huiyuan Zhai, and it is sold by foreigners. Zheng He is a hero of the Hui nationality. They are determined to do a good job in this work that shines the national spirit. Three years of meticulous carving will be completed in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, Liang Yiqing suddenly fainted on the rotating jade pier, and the treasure ship was destroyed. In order to pay off debts, Zi Han Qi went to Hui Yuan Zhai as an apprentice, and after three years of hard work, he became an expert. He returned to Qizhen Zhai and married his eldest daughter Junbi, determined to revive his family business. Ten years later, he became famous in Beijing. His son was named Tianxing and lived happily. However, when the Japanese invasion of China broke out, Han Qi, worried that jade treasures would be destroyed, came to London with British businessman Hunter. His wife and sister Kethleen sneaked out of the house and insisted on traveling with her brother-in-law, regardless of her sister's objection. Oliver, the son of Hunter in London, was deeply infatuated with Kethleen, but Oliver was unfortunately killed in the London bombing. Lonely and homesick, Kethleen fell in love with Tze-ki Han and gave birth to his daughter, Crescent Moon. After returning home together after the war, my sister refused to let her mother and son go with her, so Kethleen decided to take her daughter away from home. Tze-ki hon begged and left her daughter. Xinyue grew up gradually and was admitted to the Department of Western Languages in Peking University with excellent results. After school, I fell in love with the head teacher Chu Yanchao. Because Chu was a Han nationality and was opposed by the Liang family, their love became more and more fierce in the obstruction. And my brother married a classmate of Crescent Moon because of his mother's scheming. When he found out, it was too late. The beauty of Xin Yue is unfortunate. She died of a serious heart attack. Chu Yanchao and Xinyue's family are very sad. Tze-ki hon was getting old in a flash, and her mother finally understood her fault. My brother and sister-in-law shouldered the burden of the family. Later, Tze-ki hon and Liang Junbi died one after another, and Han Tianxing also had a pair of children. Many years later, Kethleen came back, but everything changed. ...
