Born into a family of soldiers, Liu Hao grew up with military texts as his companions. He knew The Art of War by heart, and even wore the edges off his grandfather’s notes on resistance-era tactics. He dreamed of joining the military, but was expelled from high school because of his physique. Determined to make his way into the chemistry department at Northeastern University through his family connections, he never expected that beneath his “frail” exterior lay a fierce determination harder than steel! In the reconnaissance platoon, he handled firearms as naturally as his own limbs, and his fighting skills left even veteran soldiers speechless. Through sheer grit, he transformed himself from a scholar into an elite special operations soldier.
