About This Novel
"In 1961, the country suffered a serious natural disaster, and hunger threatened the people. In order to survive, I fled across the border from Yunnan to North Vietnam; two months later, I smuggled myself to Saigon, South Vietnam. I worked as a coolie at the Western Cargo Terminal until the winter of 1963. I originally wanted to send the three hundred dollars I earned back to my country. Your father and your mother, but the strong desire to make a fortune prompted me to use the three hundred dollars to bribe a sailor on a Spanish freighter, who hid me in a container and smuggled me into the United States." Tao's uncle was immersed in the past, his hands trembling slightly, "I am a 'black man' with no household registration and no right of residence in the United States. In order to survive, I joined the underworld in Chinatown. Within four years, I fought, cheated, and did all the bad things except killing anyone. Then, I made $100,000 in four years, and I quit the underworld and opened a business on Thirty-Seventh Street in New York. A restaurant. Over the past 20 years, I have saved millions of dollars. When your brother Kang was only eight years old, I brought him to the United States and became an American citizen. My purpose was to have an heir for the family fortune that I had earned through blood and sweat!" Tao's uncle burst into tears and was filled with grief.
