Synopsis

This is a tale of a tough Sichuan native making his way in the Northeast. It tells how one man from Sichuan held his own among the fearless people of the Northeast and forged a legend of his own. Back in my hometown, I was a “little punk” everyone despised. As a sent-down youth at Bashanzi Commune in Liaoning Province, I was a “little hammer” nobody dared mess with. At a small coal mine in the Weitang mining district of Jilin Province, locals called me a “drifter.” I faced the greed of unscrupulous coal mine bosses and the extortion of thugs and scoundrels. I swore that if I was going to be a “drifter” in the Northeast, I would be one that everyone feared. From then on, I, the “drifter,” became a respected guest of the coal mine bosses. I, the “drifter,” could drink with the big names of Northeastern society, share a toast, and call them brothers. My fellow “drifters” and I shared our fortunes and hardships, and had been through life and death together. I was their leader. I was the “drifter boss” of the entire mining district.
