This is not a work that whitewashes the underworld. Lin Zhan's path to rise was by stepping on the bones of countless opponents. But he always maintained a bottom line. I don't do drugs, I don't force girls into prostitution, I don't harm the people. In his words: I am a gangster, not a scumbag.

"Rebirth of Underground Heroes" is an epic of China's reform spanning thirty years. From a gangster in the 1990s to a capital tycoon, from the fate of the time cycle to the final choice of ordinaryness, Lin Zhan's seven rebirths are not only personal salvation, but also reflect the madness and ideals of the entire era. The author writes passionately with cold brushstrokes, wraps the fable of reform with the legend of gangsters, and finally settles on the simple truth of "loving yourself" - only in this life and now can you be truly free.
