West Lake, later Ming dynasty, a handsome man from a rich official family, yes, official already for three or four generations, lived a happy life. He drinks water, just like others, he tastes water, he knows the difference between waters; he can identify water from the Mian river or Zi river, just like the chef Exchange Teeth. He tastes local spring water in temple, so too many people came and carried water from the temple. The monks were so tired and bothered, they just destroyed the spring. He tastes tea and organized a tea competition, then he created his own brands. Too many gentlemen or noblemen loved his tea, so many tea brands failed.

When he turned 50, he lost everything, he lost his house and field, had no garden anymore, lost his money and food, then he had no rice in jars, long hair covering his neck and back. He ran into the mountains. He won't take salary from the new government, so he eats wild vegi wei, and then he knows brother Yi and Qi would not eat Zhou rice, for it was cheating. He came to West Lake, but West Lake lost almost everything. They are not the old world. Everything was burned down. He ran away scared, and he would keep old dreams, that if his grandson or granddaughter will ask him about West Lake, he can tell them this way....
