Three intellectuals, the narrator's father, eldest maternal uncle and uncle by marriage, and their families move through a gallery of more than forty characters, professors and courtesans alike. Their family histories are steeped in Henan's history and legends: the uncle's clan worries for the nation like the man of Qi, and the father spends his life searching for an old Nanyang melody.
