About This Novel
This is a secret history of black and white in Hong Kong in the last century. It is also a history of the counterattack of a lower-class Chinese youth in this mixed colony. Hong Kong at the beginning of the 20th century was a paradise for adventurers. Chen Yuxiang and Chen Baiwei, young people from Dongguan, came here to make a living, but they were involved in disputes between rivers and lakes. Chen Yuxiang was killed after he founded "Hongsheng Hall". Chen Baiwei took over in pain, changed the name of the hall to "He Anle", and vowed not to dominate Hong Kong and not marry his lover He Xiangzhu. His opponent is the insidious "He Yi Tang" military advisor Peng Kun. Faced with Peng Kun's vicious plan, Chen Baiwei endured the humiliation and used his wisdom to open up underground financial paths, and his power grew rapidly. He got involved in the film and television industry, earned the title of "Justice of the Peace", and completed his transformation from a gangster to a social celebrity. However, when he became famous, his childhood sweetheart He Xiangzhu lost her virginity to another man. Subsequently, his emotional entanglement with the movie star Huang Xiaoni made his life even more ups and downs. The Pacific War broke out and Hong Kong fell. Peng Kun defected to the Japanese invaders, while Chen Baiwei was brutally retaliated by the Japanese army for helping the movie star Hu Die escape.

However, Peng Kun, who was guilty of many crimes, destroyed the evidence of his crimes, transformed into a "national salvation hero" and rose to the upper class. He bluntly said: Doing evil in troubled times is a shortcut to achieving higher status, and if you succeed, you can "become a Buddha immediately." The ultimate showdown between justice and evil begins... This epic masterpiece will take you through the fog of history and witness the struggle of human nature and the ups and downs of destiny in troubled times.
