Gold, yellow, light, precious gold! This thing, as long as that little, can make the black become white, ugly into beauty, wrong into the right, humble become noble, the elderly become juvenile, coward become warriors...... This is a true portrayal of Mark Twain's "millions of pounds".

"Million pounds" describes an American living in London, Henry Adam, who met two London billionaires who earned a check for millions of pounds.

This book is the Mark Twain classic. The book tells the story of a mining agent clerk for open yacht driving too far, lost, was rescued by a ship bound for London brig, and as a seaman as the toll. When he arrived in London, he was still broke. At this time, an elderly gentleman, it is called to go, and give him a letter, and then let him go he came to a small hotel, opened the letter, he was believed in almost fainted! There was a $one million pound note! So, overnight, he became known to every family celebrity, in London, who knew him. At a dinner party, he fell in love with a name - Xia Lang Hanmu English girl and married her, he didn't know who gave him money, the old gentleman is the wave of nepheline yifu. At the wedding ceremony of he and Xia, the old gentleman gave him the one million pound note as a gift, and he also found a good job. This book is ironic that some people can't resist the temptation of money to people, and that money is omnipotent. In reality, I think money is absolutely not omnipotent, money omnipotence theory is very wrong. Money can buy a bed, but not sleep; money can buy food, but not taste; money can buy books, but not knowledge...... Money can really meet people's vanity, but these are false, the most real is the magnanimous life. Like Adams, he lost money, but he is still optimistic about life. What we have to do is to use a calm heart to treat our own life, our own life to fight for, there is no free lunch, only hard-working people will have harvest. Even if you are rich, you are not sure to get everything you want.
