The Fate of Hongmen Zhang

The Peak of Bauhinia: An Introduction to the Hongmen Family's Secret Struggle for Power In San Francisco's Chinatown in 1952, the undercurrents of the world were hidden under the swaying lanterns. Uncle Nan, the head of the Zhao family in Hongmen, protects immigrants with "loyalty", but is coveted by the Qinglong Society. The bloodshed in the teahouse brings the family to the edge of collapse. Zhao Wenqian, an idealist who returned from studying abroad, originally wanted to stay away from the darkness of his family with his white girlfriend, but when his father was seriously injured and the group was leaderless, he was forced to shoulder the heavy responsibility of power. From being a top student at Harvard to being at the helm of Hongmen, he lost his bookishness and used his wits to uncover the inner ghosts and divide the powerful enemies. He went to Hong Kong to seek help and allied with the elders, and regained the lost ground amidst the flash of swords. When he reaches the peak of power, he not only has to deal with the counterattack of the Blue Dragon Society and the infiltration of the mafia, but also has to resolve the estrangement between brothers and the entanglement of old love. He also struggles between iron-blooded revenge and his father's "loyalty" legacy. Seven volumes and seventy chapters witness a power game involving love and hatred. When blood stains the jade ring, when ideals collide with the laws of the world, Zhao Wenqian finally looks back at the peak, splitting the light in the darkness, and letting the redbud bloom quietly in the tranquility of Chinatown.
