Introduction: The book is divided into 31 chapters, with odd and even chapters each having a time narrative line, one about the story from the 60s to the 80s of the 20th century, and the other about the story of the 90s of the 20th century. **The three protagonists are Husheng from a military family, A Bao from a capitalist family, and Xiao Mao from a working family, telling the story of these three Shanghainese from childhood to adulthood.

With a large number of character dialogues and dense storylines, it calmly tells the Shanghai past of Bao, Husheng and Xiaomao, three childhood friends, like "storytelling", starting with ten-year-old Bao, from one thing to another, after talking about Zhang San and Li Si, with their own tone, behavior, and dress, divide their respective environments and live their own lives. **At the end, Po and Husheng follow Xiao Mao's last words to help the Frenchmen Rui Fuan and Anna, two young Frenchmen who live in Xiao Mao's house and are ambitious to write a Shanghai script, and the French factory owner falls in love with a Chinese textile girl.

Jin Yucheng's "Prosperity" writes about old things in a single chapter, and writes new things in two chapters, and finally converges in chapter 29.

Generally speaking, the old things have a long time span, from the early 60s to the 70s; The new thing was short-lived, concentrated in the mid-90s. There are very few things in the 80s, and that was the most upward time, and the author deliberately abbreviated it, perhaps related to the age memory of a 60-year-old person.

When combing through the timeline of the entire book, there are probably several latitudes:
