Chen Zhihao was reborn in the darkest hinterland of Hong Kong in 1954 - the Kowloon Walled City. The memory of the past life is as blurry as a broken mirror, but the survival instinct is as clear as a knife. The old injury under his ribs has not healed, and he only has thirty Hong Kong dollars in his hand. Gangs are divided, police and gangsters collude, and the shadow of colonialism is cast.
Relying on his subtle perception of the context of the times, he wandered among the hidden stalls of Temple Street, the smuggling lines of the docks and the shady police stations, using the information gap as an edge and the gaps in the rules as a shield. Do not take poison, do not hurt women and children, do not betray your companions, and walk the tightrope on the edge of the moral abyss. From surviving in the sewage ditch, to dancing on the gray chessboard with the showgirl Nightingale, to detonating a gang war in Yau Ma Tei...
This is a grim and realistic epic of low-level survival. Life is like grass, information is like gold. Let's see how a reborn person calculates every step of life and death in this besieged city without heroes, and returns to the dark jungle of Hong Kong in 1954.
