In the concession of Wudu, the "Sakura brand" silk produced by the Japanese Ruifeng Silk Factory was awarded by the Japanese Emperor and received a tiger-head sword as a reward. The Jiangnan Silk Factory, an old establishment run by the Gu family, produced the "Plum Blossom brand" silk, which was greatly favored by Empress Cixi. Cixi bestowed her prized "Jade Silkworm Treasures" (an exquisite jade carving) to the Gu family, making the "Jade Silkworm Treasures" the family's treasured possession. The "Plum Blossom brand" silk dominated the international market due to its reputation and quality, while the "Sakura brand" silk gradually declined, infuriating the Japanese Emperor, who ordered Consul Gangcun Goudong to turn the situation around. Ruifeng Silk Factory's manager, Kitada, used despicable means to assassinate the Jiangnan Silk Factory's owner, Gu Hanmo, believing that as long as Jiangnan Silk Factory was leaderless, it would struggle to survive, especially since the three sons of the Gu family were still young and incapable of managing the factory. Qiu Hailing, an adopted son of the Gu family who had studied silk production in Japan, was entrusted by Madam Gu with the management of the factory. After taking over, Qiu Hailing did everything possible to restore the factory's former prosperity. Faced with dire straits, Ruifeng Silk Factory employed oppressive measures against workers, leading to a worker uprising after the death of Shen Xingmei, who was scalded to death by foreman Jiangcun Jianzi while bringing her nursing infant to work. The factory sought to secretly send the murderer back to Japan, but Shen Xingmei's brother, He Liu, a street performer, killed him on the way and was unfortunately captured. In a dramatic turn of events, Gu Bohua, the eldest son of the Gu family, bribes the city defense commander Feng Bufang with a large sum to stage a fake execution and rescue He Liu. With no place to hide, He Liu joins the bandits at Taihu. Kitada schemes to win over Qiu Jiancheng to gain access to the secrets of Jiangnan Silk Factory's prosperity, believing that if one sincerely worships the "Jade Silkworm Treasures," they will bring good fortune and smooth sailing in any endeavor. Kitada was envious and sought ways to seize the treasures for himself. Years passed, and Gu Bohua grew into adulthood. The Gu family held a grand ceremony to worship the "Jade Silkworm Treasures," led by Madam Gu, who, after worship, had her three sons pay great respects to Qiu Hailing for his care of the Gu family and contributions to the Jiangnan Silk Factory. Qiu Hailing was moved to tears and speechless for a long time! Shortly after, Madam Gu made the decision to appoint Gu Bohua as the head of Jiangnan Silk Factory, while Qiu Hailing would step back to serve as an advisor, assisting Bohua as he managed the factory. Just as Qiu Hailing was overjoyed, it struck him like a blow to the head! A seed of resentment was immediately sown in his heart! The Japanese employed unscrupulous means to apply various pressures, making Madam Gu live in constant fear. After some investigation, she learned that city defense commander Feng Bufang had an adopted daughter who was looking for a suitor. Madam Gu personally went to propose marriage, and the third concubine, knowing that Feng Bufang was eyeing the adopted daughter hungrily, reluctantly accepted the marriage. Gu Bohua strongly opposed the marriage, stating to his mother that he had been in love with his classmate Dong Xiao for many years and could only marry her. Madam Gu firmly rejected his plea. Finally, Wudu welcomed liberation! Qiu Jiancheng was executed. As Gu Bohua happily devoted himself to factory construction, the military management committee arrested him for the crime of colluding with the lake bandits and buying a government post from the Kuomintang. With solid evidence, an execution sentence was imminent! At this moment, He Liu, who had joined the revolution and was working in the military management committee, knew Gu Bohua was a good and upright person but had no means to rescue him. At the execution site, He Liu pointed a gun at his own temple and shouted, "I join the revolution to kill bad people! I will never kill good people!" Just at that critical juncture, Old Chen rode in on horseback and resolved the misunderstanding. During the public-private partnership, Gu Bohua, responding to the national call, handed the factory over to the state but faced strong resistance from Gu Zhonghua, who threatened to cause a scene at the factory gate on the day of the handover. In a moment of desperation, Gu Bohua drugged Gu Zhonghua with a sedative, but he overdosed, and after three days, Zhonghua still hadn’t woken up, forcing Gu Bohua to report himself to the police. As the hearse arrived at the funeral home, Zhonghua suddenly sat up on the stretcher, shocking the pallbearers! The Gu family was overjoyed! During the Anti-Rightist Movement, Zhen Yanpo was sent to a farm for reform, and in times of hardship, he received true love from Dong Xiao. When natural disasters struck and food shortages ensued, workers' families suffered greatly. Gu Bohua, anxious and restless, sought help from Mayor Lao Chen, exchanging the ancestral "Jade Silkworm Treasures" for a truckload of rice to alleviate the crisis. As the Cultural Revolution began, the Diaohua Building was occupied by the Red Guards, and the relationship between Gu Bohua and his son deteriorated, leading to a worsening conflict. To prevent the Diaohua Building from being damaged, Gu Bohua desperately sought ways to rescue it, nearly driving himself to the brink of collapse! The spring breeze of reform blew through Wudu! Jiangnan Silk Factory was powerless to recover. Aged Gu Bohua, deeply concerned, called back his younger brother from America and invested heavily to save Jiangnan Silk Factory! However, Gu Zhonghua adamantly objected, insisting that his brother invest in a restaurant for his adopted daughter, leading to a falling out between the Gu brothers. Gu Bohua fell seriously ill from distress and had to be hospitalized. With the assistance of Gu Shuhua, Jiangnan Silk Factory was revitalized, and Gu Zhonghua's Jiangnan Restaurant opened successfully as desired. After sixty years of ups and downs, today’s Diaohua Building is even more beautiful.
