    Riding A Tsunami Of Rumors
    Tian Xie and his family run a small shop during the heady days of the Japanese invasion of China. As Shanghai is attacked, rumors swirl, and local patriots boycott shops that sell Japanese goods.... unless they make a donation to court officers. Tian rackets from bankruptcy to prosperity to being dragged off on rumors, as customers rush to buy cheap goods, creditors demand payments, and less canny merchants beg for goods..... no cash down.

    It's a chaotic time, and the occupants of the shop undergo a chaotic mix of emotions in this nice little satire of pre-communist China. extremely entertaining.
