二十世纪初，上海已是远东最繁华的都市，这里车马行旅、金融商情，土语洋文交相斑驳。 　　英国豪华游轮载着上海金融大亨王正德的千金王雨秋留学归来，刚刚下船就遭遇小流氓偷盗打劫。此时，从无锡乡下初到上海的杜清远不明所以，卷入其中，被误认为是流氓同伙蒙怨入狱，险些丧命。当王雨秋发现冤枉了杜清远后，主动去巡捕房澄清事实，从此拉开了他们恩怨悲喜的人生序幕。 　　厄运没有挫伤杜清远的锐气，反而激发出他的斗志。在上海滩这个冒险家的乐园里，凭借聪明机智，在开源钱庄当上了跑街先生。 　　杜清远机敏、果敢，很快成长，在王雨秋的帮助下，事业初显锋芒。正当其雄心勃勃之际，英格兰人麦边与王正德养子石锦麟设计的橡胶股骗局振荡了整个上海滩。杜家父子和成千上万的小股民遭受了沉重打击，最好的朋友杜无忌不堪破产，跳楼身亡。而王氏家族却因为石锦麟的与人勾结，成了这场骗局的替罪羊，杜清远不得不斩断与王雨秋的恋情，精心策划对王氏家族的报复，王正德蒙受沉重打击，终身瘫痪。同时，杜清远通过法律程序控告英国骗子海默尔，唯一证人、海默尔的女秘书安露因此遭到暗杀，杜清远以败诉告终。 　　海默尔摇身一变，成为建筑师汉内。他和石锦麟开发洋泾浜房产的生意如日中天，就在其高档别墅旁边，杜清远购置一处垃圾场，凭借超人的勇气和智慧，杜清远在房地产事件中攫取了事业上的第一桶金。 　　王雨秋为拯救王氏家族，无奈另嫁日本商人渡边一雄。得知王雨秋嫁人的消息，杜清远心如刀绞。 　　为了新的事业，弟弟杜清明也转辗来到上海，帮助杜清远成立了“聚金钱庄”，并陆续创办了以面粉生产和棉纱纺织为主业的杜氏企业。本着从“衣食入手”办实业的经营策略，攸关民生，攸关千万老百姓吃饭穿衣的企业发展定位，为杜氏奠定了深厚的市场基础，发展迅猛，成为上海滩无锡商帮中声名显赫的新兴资本家。 　　而此时，王氏家族在王正德的主持下完成了权力的交替，石锦麟欲图独霸王氏的野心日益败露，众叛亲离被赶出了王氏家族。离婚后的王雨秋和哥哥王雨实共同担起王氏家族继承人的重任。王氏家族也成为了杜氏企业生意上最大的竞争对手，双方在商场上不断明争暗斗，此消彼长，互有胜负，揭开了十里洋场新一轮的生意角逐。而杜清远和王雨秋昔日的感情也淹没在了无情的商场纷争之中，但两人始终难以割舍情愫，一次意外偶遇，相互再次迸发激情。 　　随着杜氏企业的壮大，杜清远被推举为无锡商会会长，他敢于冒险，将全部精力投入到交易所。而性情稳重，行为谨慎的杜清明则反对哥哥冒险的投机生意，兄弟俩为此爆发严重分歧，杜氏几乎一分为二。最终杜清远接受杜清明意见，对杜氏企业进行了全面的资本主义生产方式的改革，在上海的华埠引起巨大反响。 　　看到中国民族企业的壮大，洋商和官僚资本对其虎视眈眈，屡屡打击杜氏企业。危机关头，杜清远意识到民族与家族的命运息息相关，他与王雨秋主动化解误会，两人取得共识，在他们的共同号召下，无锡与宁波两大商帮相互冰释前嫌，揭穿了日本军国主义分子秘密实施的“樱花计划”，经济间谍渡边一雄剖腹自杀，上海滩一次惊心动魄的金融风暴悄然落幕。 　　民族工业艰难求存，杜清远决定孤身赴欧洲考查，登船时刻，王雨秋带着两岁儿子蹒跚而来。面对突然出现的亲子，杜清远深情拥抱雨秋母子，热泪滚滚……

China - The Soul of the Dragon 　　The Wild Dragon's Heritage. The story begins more than 1,500 years before our current era on the banks of the Hwang Ho - or Yellow River and the Yang Tse Kiang or Blue River, whose formidable power has been feared and respected by men through the ages. To control them, the renowned emperor Quinshihuangdi, today regarded as the first man to unify the great land of China, installed highly sophisticated irrigation systems and dissuaded his people from resorting to prayers and rituals in their attempt to combat the rivers' demons. The discovery of Quinshihuangdi's tomb in 1974 revealed that this savior of a land subjected to the mighty rivers' whim was held in unbounded reverence: 8,000 individually crafted terracotta warriors stand guard over their king for eternity. 　　Egypt - The Way of Eternity 　　A Journey in the Nile Valley. For 3,000 years, from the construction of the first pyramid until the death of Cleopatra, Egypt was a land of prosperity; largely thanks to the River Nile. What is the story of the development of this impressive civilisation and its relationship with its principal source of life? How did the river valley evolve during Antiquity? Why did the Egyptians never fight against nature, preferring to draw their own life-force from its natural power? And what remains today of the riches and wealth that nature has offered to Egypt? Shaped and fashioned by the hand of man in his pursuit of modernity, against all odds, the Nile has finally been tamed. 　　The Indus - The Masters of the River 　　A Silent Civilisation. One of the most mysterious of these four civilisations is no doubt that which developed around the Indus, discovered only in 1920. Considered to be one of the world's most powerful rivers, the Indus has a flow rate twice as high as the Nile, and three times that of the Tigris and the Euphrates. Its geographical course enabled extensive communication to be developed and, at the same time, the rise of a prosperous civilisation, the Harappeans.What was the story of this recently discovered civilisation, and how can we explain its decline? 　　Mesopotamia - The Gardens of Babel 　　The Conquest of Two Rivers. Mesopotamia, or the country between two rivers, is the oldest civilisation to have flourished at the confluence of two rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. The Mesopotamians included various peoples, the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, who coexisted and succeeded one another, mixing and inter-relating in a Near East with a wide range of racial facets. These different peoples, who once lived along the banks of the two rivers, have left behind an archaeological heritage of inestimable value. How did they flourish in such a hostile environment? Where did their wealth come from? And how did this perfectly structured civilisation finally fade and disappear for ever?
