From an illegitimate son on the Shanghai Bund to the godfather of a world hidden in the shadows.
With his far-sighted intelligence and ruthless methods, he rises during the War of Resistance Against Japan, cementing his supremacy in Shanghai’s financial battles and the bloody clashes of Hong Kong’s Kowloon.
He commands a private army in Myanmar’s Golden Triangle.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he pulls off an audacious switch beneath the shadow of nuclear warheads.
As anti-Chinese violence surges in Indonesia, the Green Gang network under his command becomes an ark carrying people across raging seas.
From then on, the Green Gang’s banner spreads across the globe, from the Golden Triangle to San Francisco to the frozen plains of Siberia.
He navigates the Mafia, the Yakuza, Vietnamese gangs, and Russian axemen, forging street gangs into an invisible transnational empire.
This is an underground legend about a small-time nobody who rides the tides of history, grows from a pawn into the one moving the pieces, and ultimately ascends the throne.
He began in the shadows of the Shanghai Bund, but made those shadows cover the world.
