Synopsis

With no papers, he entered the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the trunk of a taxi. He worked as a real estate sales agent, but treated advertising flyers like scrap paper and sold them to a scrap dealer. He sold products made with honest materials, and he also bought fake goods like scam energy-saving devices and high-frequency cell phones. He was Meng Dongjun, who had come from inland China to strike it rich in Shenzhen. In the dazzling, pleasure-seeking Special Economic Zone, he experienced every kind of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and spice life had to offer.
