A forged business card as "Editor of Changying Factory" started the absurd life of Meng Qiang, a boy from a farm family, for thirty years. From the "artistic young man" who swaggered and cheated in the 1980s, to the "ruthless character" tempered by 14 years in prison, to the "strong uncle" who stirred up 1.6 Billion in funds in the 2000s. He has spent his whole life weaving "face" with lies and using human greed to build a crumbling money empire.
However, all borrowed prosperity must eventually be repaid.
From the perspective of his nephew Meng Xiaobo's personal experience, this book grimly records the rise and fall of a family. It is also a cruel record of how people's hearts were alienated by desires in that era of Sturm und Drang.
