In the suburbs of Qingdao in the 1990s, a high school student expelled for fighting starts at the bottom to make a living. He refuses to be bullied and presses forward boldly. Fortunately, he has the support of benefactors and the strength of love. After enduring setback after setback and overcoming one difficulty after another, he gradually builds a brilliant career and eventually reaches an enviable peak of success. My writing skills are limited, so I can only tell the story in a straightforward way as I slowly take you back to that era. (I’m a slow-burn writer, so be sure to read to the end!) Against the distinctive social backdrop of the time, there is a life of hardship, pure romance, lawless gangs, and officialdom where personal connections count for everything… This story includes my still-immature interpretations of human nature and society. If you feel anything is inappropriate, please share your thoughts and comments, and offer your valuable suggestions. (The story draws on local life, but its place names are a mixture of real and fictional ones, and the years mentioned are only approximate.)
