The remittance shop "Tianchengyuan" described in *Silver Empire* can be considered the "financial giant" of the Qing Dynasty. It controlled the national finances, operated deposit and loan businesses, and at its peak had twenty-three branches across China as well as in Russia, Mongolia, Japan, and Southeast Asia, with wealth rivaling that of a nation. All this prosperity and abundance could be attributed to the successful management of Mr. Kang, the owner of the shop.

Despite appearances of great prosperity, the hardships and bitterness were not something easily shared with outsiders. Against the backdrop of a declining national power, events such as kidnappings, bank runs, the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Xinhai Revolution, corrupt officials oppressing the people, and more continuously caused upheaval.

Amidst processes involving external political enmity and internal family struggles, how did Mr. Kang and his eldest son endure numerous trials and tribulations while still displaying the great benevolence and grand demeanor of Jin merchants, leaving their names in history? This is not just a historical anecdote but also holds lessons worthy for modern people to learn from!

In addition to the entangled triangular love story between the father and son and an extraordinary woman, the film also uses this succession process to showcase the ethical debate between two major Chinese ideological systems—Legalism and Confucianism. Through the background depiction of a series of historical events such as rampant kidnappers, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Xinhai Revolution, the film highlights the unique spirit of Jin merchants: the principle that "merchants value righteousness."
