Want to learn about a Jianghu that's true to life?
There are no romantic swordsmen there, only cold blades and burning ambition. The rules aren't set by the law, but by fists, loyalty, and money. People there will take a blade for you, only to leave you dead and buried a moment later.
Northeast China: Twenty Years of Gangland Turmoil takes you back to the tumultuous Northeast of the 1990s. See how a group of young people used sheer ruthlessness and courage to claw their way up in the gaps between eras and establish their own “underground order.”
Here you'll find the truest brotherhood, as well as the cruelest betrayals and schemes; the debauchery of overnight success, and the ruin of families and lives.
This is a tragedy of lives with no way back, and the shared memory of an entire generation. Open the book and witness how that savage, raw, yet captivating dark age came into being, step by step, and how it marched toward its inevitable downfall.
Understand this story, and you'll understand the other side of that era.
Lin Weidong is very capable, and his abilities are somewhat exaggerated, but what he has seen and experienced is real. Books are a mirror of society.
