Harlem
About This Novel
Put everyone's indignation, hope, and anger into a bottle and make it into a bomb. This is Harlem: a chaotic paradise, a wonderful hell. Carney, a used furniture dealer in Harlem, lost his mother when he was nine and his father disappeared. The family can only squeeze into a small and dilapidated apartment, and money is often tight, but Carney knows that he will not always be a mouse crawling out of the gutter and squeezing through the door. When he is rich one day, he will live in Binhe Road, a six-story red brick building with beautiful white cornices.

He climbed up step by step, and fell deeper and deeper into the vortex of gangs and political struggles...
