Synopsis
In the gateway city, only the best stories survive.
The port of Tianjin is where the ancient Chinese empire met the sea. Its inhabitants, shaped by the bitter earth that the city sprang from, are known for their coarse and hardy nature, and they are not easily impressed.
However, every once in a while there emerges someone so remarkable that a new name is inducted into Tianjin’s hall of fame, forever woven into the social fabric.
From a miracle doctor to an educated gangster, they come from every walk of life and in all shapes and sizes. Together, their stories make up the rich tapestry of a city that the modern world has washed away…
