When the male protagonist was ten years old, he was tricked by others into secretly hiding a foreign-language book in the home of his neighbor, Old Tang. Little did he know that in the afternoon, a group of people would smash the door down to conduct a search.
After the foreign book was discovered, all twelve members of the Tang family—young and old alike—were arrested.
