Name: After Prison, I Just Want to Live a Quiet Life
Author: Uncle Shui from Jinmen

Synopsis

[The world is too deep for me. I just want to make something of myself.] My name is Ma Tengfei. I had just finished the college entrance exams when I got into a fight and was sent to prison for three years, missing my chance to go to college.

A death-row inmate named Uncle Ming told me there were three kinds of people in this world: those above everyone else, courted by the masses and living lives others envy; those in the middle, scurrying around like ants and fighting one another just to survive; and those at the bottom, crushed beneath the feet of the first two, with no hope of ever rising.

Uncle Ming asked me which kind of person I wanted to be.

I said I wanted to be one of those at the top!

A mysterious smile curled Uncle Ming's lips as he recited a phone number.

After I got out of prison, I called it…

From that moment on, I was dragged into a cruel world full of twists and turns!
