Meng Luochuan was a famous merchant and national capitalist of the late Qing and early Republic of China eras. The Ruifuxiang firm he established was extremely renowned. At the time, there were many folk songs about him, such as "In the south there's Hu Xueyan, in the north there's Meng Luochuan." The life of Meng Luochuan wrote a legendary story of a generation of scholar-merchants who contributed to the world and helped the people. How to portray such a legend in a way that is approachable, relatable, and respectable is a great challenge for young actors like Zhang Tong. Previously, Zhang Tong was highly praised for his role as Brother Wei in "Bright Sword," where he portrayed a simple and righteous character. Can he successfully transform and portray the astute wisdom and scholarly chivalry of a great merchant like Meng Luochuan? We can only wait and see.
