There are 250 million urban immigrants in China.

The warblers in Jinling Yushu sound dawn, and the flowers bloom early beside Qinhuai River. Who knew it was easy to melt! Look at him starting from Zhulou, watching him entertain guests and watching his building collapse. -Peach Blossom Fan

Suzhou, winding path leading to a secluded spot, small pavilions, dreamlike. It is our indelible impression of Suzhou, a city full of this classical flavor.

A trip to Suzhou

Gusu, look at this garden. The gardens in Suzhou are the yearning of many people. In many people's dreams, it would be great if they could have a garden, enjoy flowers and drink tea during the day, play the piano and sing at night, and stay away from worldly troubles!

Most people just think about it. After all, no one has such strong financial resources to build a garden, but rich people want to make their dreams come true.

However, this dream is not over.

This rich man with a "garden dream" is called Liu Chuansheng, a native of Hefei, Anhui. It is said that when Liu Chuansheng was a child, his family was average, but his nature was strong and his mind was flexible. After graduating from school, he began to do business, first using other people's butts to do small business, and then he saved money and started investing. In the second half of his life, his business was very prosperous and he was one of the famous local rich people in Anhui.

Liu Chuansheng, who became famous in middle age, was not satisfied with the status quo. He has always wanted to do some new business. But what should we do? Unexpectedly, a trip inspired Liu Chuansheng.

Liu Chuansheng's tourist destination is Suzhou. Although he has money in his hand, Liu Chuansheng usually doesn't travel much. I didn't expect to follow the guide out of the car. The scenery in front of him surprised Liu Chuansheng.

The exquisite Suzhou gardens in front of him are the scenery that Liu Chuansheng has never seen in his hometown of Anhui. After returning home, Liu Chuansheng couldn't sleep.

Liu Chuansheng's dreams are full of beautiful gardens. He thinks that if a Soviet-style garden can be built in Anhui, it will not only fulfill his dream, but also develop tourism, killing two birds with one stone.

a dream comes true

When this idea was put forward, some subordinates around Liu Chuansheng disagreed. They advised Liu Chuansheng that there was nothing wrong with those gardens, but since ancient times, who has lived in the gardens is not a senior official? From the construction to the subsequent maintenance of a garden, there is glistening money behind it. Especially in modern times, it is even more difficult to maintain a garden. Don't you see that there are government grants behind those gardens in Suzhou?

Subordinate persuasion, private gardens now burn money hard to get back, it is better to give up this idea!

However, at this time, Liu Chuansheng was full of enthusiasm. Where can I convince him? Despite the opposition of everyone, Liu Chuansheng broke ground on his garden.

Liu Chuansheng is full of confidence. He thought, with hundreds of millions of property in his hand, can't he afford a garden?

In 2003, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for Liu Chuansheng's Mohe Garden. Facing the swarming reporters, Liu Chuansheng said that he was ambitious in building the park this time. The garden I built this time is bigger than that in Suzhou, with better scenery and more skills. I want to build the first garden in Anhui, even the first garden in China!

In Liu Chuansheng's beautiful vision, his gardens should not only have picturesque scenery, but also have modern tourism functions. Tourists come, and after a few years, their big investment doubles!

However, the reality gave Liu Chuansheng a huge blow.

End in smoke

Liu Chuansheng expected an initial investment of 250 million yuan, but he soon discovered that 250 million yuan had been built continuously for a garden.

The framework is very reluctant. In order to build the garden, Liu Chuansheng has to keep putting money into it, but the project is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of money can fill it in.

Soon, Liu Chuansheng's liquidity was used up. In order to raise funds, Liu Chuansheng had to borrow money from the bank. In addition, he mortgaged his own property and borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends from all walks of life. However, money is never enough.

Before the garden was finished, Liu Chuansheng was already heavily in debt, and confident businessmen began to panic.

At this time, the time has reached 2008. An unprecedented financial crisis swept the world, and Liu Chuansheng's business was hit hard and barely maintained. At this time, this "Mohe Lotus Garden" became a hot potato. If he continues to build, Liu Chuansheng has no extra money, but if he gives up once, it means that Shui Piao has already invested hundreds of millions. At this time, Liu Chuansheng was in an unprecedented crisis.

To make matters worse, when I heard about Liu Chuansheng's debt crisis, creditors came to me one after another. However, the once complacent rich man can't even pay the wages of construction workers now.

In desperation, Liu Chuansheng can only sell his only remaining industry to others with tears and pay off some debts. Even the "Mohe Garden", which he had high hopes for, was sold after painful consideration.

Liu Chuansheng, who used to have unlimited scenery, suddenly had nothing.

However, there are still hundreds of former workers in Mohe Garden waiting for Liu Chuansheng to get paid. Because of the debt crisis, Liu Chuansheng has not paid his salary for several months, and the workers can't live. Now I heard that Liu Chuansheng sold the company and got the money, and the workers came to the door again, hoping to get an explanation.

However, when the workers arrived, Liu Chuansheng had disappeared.

The workers were so anxious and angry that they took Liu Chuansheng to court. Where did Liu Chuansheng go?

It turned out that after selling assets to pay off debts, Liu Chuansheng had some money left at hand. Originally, this money should be used as the wages of workers. However, if the money is given to the workers again, Liu Chuansheng will be completely poor.

After several struggles, in the end, Liu Chuansheng's conscience was swallowed up by his unwillingness to pay. Without anyone noticing, Liu Chuansheng fled to Canada with the rest of the money.

Subsequently, the court sentenced Liu Chuansheng as "Lao Lai", a legendary wealthy businessman with a sad ending.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and Liu Chuansheng has disappeared in exile overseas, still bearing the title of "Lao Lai". The Mohe Garden, which carries Liu Chuansheng's dream, is still an unfinished project and has never been opened to the public. According to the local people, many wooden buildings in it have rotted because no one takes care of them. Many locals still hope that Mohe Garden will open one day and they can go in and have a look, but they don't know when this day will wait.

A thousand-year dream, a dream of Suzhou. It's just that there is still a long way to go between dreams and reality. Perhaps before the dream comes true, we should first understand one sentence: do what you can.
