Redemption in the Fireworks

For twenty years, the protagonist has been like a rudderless boat, tossed about by the tides of the era and his own desires, drifting from place to place. Told in the first person, the story follows “me” as I witness:

* How Brother Bin rises from the streets to become a local kingpin, expanding his business empire at a furious pace in the murky world of power and profit. His flexible methods reveal the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the dark side of the rules, until he ultimately ends up behind bars.

* How Donghai claws his way back from the despair of losing the person he loved, turning endurance into armor amid the neon lights and schemes of the nightlife scene, and gradually transforming into a cool-headed, even ruthless, underworld elite.

Through a first-person perspective, the author imagines twenty years of life in the streets and the underworld, recording its harsh struggles for survival, true human nature, unforgettable love and hate, and how an ordinary person slowly comes to savor the bitterness of regret amid life’s ups and downs, while trying to find a faint way home on a lost course. This is a story of loss and searching, corruption and struggle, loyalty and love.
