I Was Just Making Gas Canisters, but I Became an Arms Dealer

This is the story of Du Gu Xiaosheng, a young man born in the 1990s who takes over his family's gas cylinder manufacturing business when it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Through precise business strategies and clever planning, he turns the struggling small company into a hot commodity on the international market. But when war breaks out in the Middle East, the gas cylinders unexpectedly become war supplies, and Du Gu Xiaosheng transforms from a businessman into an “arms dealer,” caught in a double bind between morality and profit. Woven together through business battles, war, and conflicts of human nature, the novel explores profound themes of power, greed, and redemption, tracing an ordinary young man's growth, loss, and awakening amid a complex and turbulent world.
