Some people say that the 1990s were a golden age.
But for twelve-year-old Li Ye, that was the beginning of hell.
On that winter night in 1992, a fire destroyed the grain depot and killed his father.
In the black snow on the ground, a dying stranger gave him a blood-stained account book and a black knife used to pick out bones.
The man said: "Take it, and you will either live like a dog or become a wolf."
Five years later, there was a taciturn young apprentice in the auto repair shop next to the national highway.
During the day, he was covered in oil and stains, repairing the car and repairing tires, and was insulted by the foreman at will.
At night, holding the modified "Dead Man's Bones" crowbar in his hand, he walked on the edge of black and white, approaching the truth of the year step by step.
He originally wanted to rot in the darkness, but he happened to encounter two beams of light.
One bouquet is Shen Qingqiu, a cool policewoman with a distinguished background and who represents absolute justice: "Li Ye, follow me back to the police station, and the law will give you justice."
One bunch is Cheng Yu, a smuggler who is rebellious and dancing wildly in the night: "Li Ye, don't believe in those rules and regulations, come with me, we have the final say in Changping City from now on!"
In this era of barbaric growth, Li Ye just wants to ask:
If there is no light on the right path, how can I destroy the world with my rebellious nature?
