In the past twenty years, the protagonist has been like a rudderless boat, being carried away by the torrent of the times and his own desires, and drifting around. The author uses the first person narrative, in which "I" witnessed:
*How did Brother Bin become a tycoon from the streets? His business territory expanded crazily in the gray area of power and interests. His accommodating methods described the warmth and coldness of the world and the dark side of the rules, and finally ended up behind bars.
* How Donghai struggled to get up from the despair of losing his love. In the neon lights and calculations of the nightclub, he trained his forbearance into armor, and gradually transformed into a calm and even cold elite in the world.
From a first-person perspective, the author imagines the urban life of the past twenty years, recording the rough existence, true humanity, deep-rooted love and hate, and how an ordinary person tastes regret bit by bit in the ups and downs, and tries to find a faint way back on the lost channel. This is a story about loss and search, degradation and struggle, loyalty and love.
