Fan Sizhe had loved money since he was a child. He was an expert at amassing money. He had opened a bank in Jingdou called the palace treasury, and his business was very prosperous. However, Fan Sizhe was quick-witted and simple-minded. Although he loved money, he was not greedy. He was also very loyal to his family and friends.

" Celebrating Years, Four Sons of Fan " referred to Ku He, Xiao En, Ye Liuyun, and Sigu Jian, one of the Four Great Grandmasters in " Celebrating Years."

In the novel, they appeared for the first time in the sixth volume, chapter 19, Beiqi Kingdom's division.

Cheng Jialin was one of Fan Xian's four disciples in " Celebrating Years." He was called the "Invisible Man" in the play because his low profile and tenacity made him show extraordinary value in a seemingly ordinary position. His story was not about the protagonist's halo, but the power hidden behind the scenes. It revealed the diverse faces of success and the deep exploration of human nature. Cheng Jialin represented the students who studied hard in the cold window of the world. His story was to encourage those examinees who worked hard for the college entrance examination. He hoped that all the examinees could be like Cheng Jialin, a fish leaping over the dragon gate, getting what they wanted, and becoming the pillars of the country.
