The story of a rural nobody's rise to success. Born in 1985, Chen Wang was notorious as a troublemaker across the surrounding villages from a young age. At nine, he could take apart his teacher's bicycle and sell the parts for scrap. At thirteen, he was expelled after beating the principal's son badly enough to land him in the hospital. His father died young, and his mother remarried, leaving him completely untethered. At fifteen, he dropped out of school and headed south to make his way in the world.
