In 1940, a deserted manor in Zenadu, Florida, was submerged in the dark night. Only one room had a window with lights still on. This was the newspaper King Charles Foster Kane's bedroom. Kane lay peacefully on the bed, and the glass ball crystal in his hand flashed a marvelous view: pieces of snow fell on a farmhouse.
Kane's aging and low voice sounded in the silence: "Rose bud!" Then his hand slowly let go, the glass ball fell, and the magical snow scene inside the glass ball disappeared.
Kane was dead, so bleak, there was no family beside him except the nurse and the servant.
Kane’s death has busied the press. The headlines of newspapers reported his death, and there were mixed reviews of him. Some are called "patriots" and "democrats", and some call them "war mongers" and "traitors." People can't figure out what kind of person Kane is. But the "rose bud" that Kane said at the end of his death aroused the interest of reporters. What is the meaning of this sentence? Everyone has speculated.
The reporters decided to visit those close to Kane, those who loved him, and those who hated him. An experienced editor Thompson undertook this arduous investigation mission as a reporter.
