In the 1980s, a huge gold mine was discovered somewhere in Northwest Jiangxi Province and tens of thousands of people flocked to the mine. This news shocked the world, and many foreign news media reported it. The author has personally participated in the gold rush here and is familiar with the people and things in the process of gold rush. After decades of precipitation and reflection, he wrote the novel, Zhujinji. Zhujinji written by Fan Jianjun takes this event as the background, unfolds the story by the clue that villagers headed by Zhu Da’s family exploited the gold mine, smuggled and sold gold, and finally set up their own brand of gold jewelry, and builds the images of a group of characters pursuing the gold dream. The time span of the novel is more than a hundred years from Zhu Da’s great-grandfather, Zhu Shu, to Zhu Da’s grandson, Zhu Xiaoshou, and spans six generations. It is a history of the struggle of pursuing gold from generation to generation and a history of gold fables. The novel completely and truly reproduces the whole process of a gold mine from discovery to prosperity, to decline, to disappearance. Shuimen Village in the novel experienced a feast of gold and a catastrophe of gold. All the people in Shuimen Village were involved in the battle for gold. Since they did not know how to protect themselves, many people suffered from silicosis in the process of gold mining and died in pain. Then, Shuimen Village became a village of widows. Although gold rushers are gone, gold is still rampant in the world.
