Hai Rui Ruxian (1514-1587) was born in Qiongshan and was a famous upright official in the Ming Dynasty, serving successively as magistrate and prefectural judge in Hubu Shangshu, Warbu Shangshu, Shangshucheng, Youquan Capital Yushi and so on. He advocated for people to be clean and honest in politics, and to love oneself. He was upright and resolute, and he dared to criticize the powerful when he was in a low position, and never flattered. He was loyal and daring all his life, and once bought a coffin, bid farewell to his wife, and risked death. Hai Rui was impoverished all his life, restrained tycoons, comforted the poor, and attacked treacherous officials and corrupt officials, so he was deeply loved by the people. Events in his life are widely known among the people. "Hai Qing Tian" tells the story of the upright official Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty. The book begins with Hai Rui entering Beijing to take an exam and staying at the Zhangjia Tofu shop. It describes a series of stories about Hai Rui fighting with Yan's slaves, Yan's steward, and even the owner of Yan's, Yan Song. The plot is subtle, has ups and downs, and the language is humorous. It sounds literary, informative and interesting. The story is suspenseful, and the characters have distinctive personalities. It is a well-known storytelling work. The author Jiang Jingsheng is a senior theorist and writer of folk art. On the basis of his original work, Tian Lianyuan modified it to make the storytelling stronger, more honest, and more audible.
