On the day his grandma left, Li Ran locked himself up for three days.
After coming out, he pushed Zhou Kun, who had stepped on him for five years, to the ground and said:
"My grandma is gone. From now on, no one will care about me."
Before he was twelve years old, he was the "little wolf cub" in the village. He could push older children to the ground and beat them when he was seven or eight years old.
When he was twelve years old, his grandma took him to the city and begged him on her knees: "The city is not as good as the village. If you fight, grandma will have no one to care about you."
He looked at his grandma's tears and put his fist back.
For the next five years, he pretended to be transparent. Bring tea and water to the school bully, don't fight back when beaten, don't fight back when scolded. It's not that I'm afraid, but that my grandma will be worried.
In the first semester of my second year of high school, my grandma was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Three months later, he left.
Before leaving, she held his hand and said, "Of course, no one will care about you from now on. You can live however you want."
He broke out from the campus and broke into the city with his two brothers.
From moving bricks on the construction site, to collecting accounts for others, to working for the boss.
From county towns, to provincial capitals, to the Golden Triangle, to Paris, and to the whole world.
He climbed up step by step, and the people around him died one by one.
Lao Scar, Third Brother, Chen Laosan... Those who had helped him all dispersed in the end.
He spent fifteen years to find out the cause of his parents' death, take revenge, and reach the top.
When he was fifty years old, he sat alone on the Victoria Peak in Hong Kong and looked at the night view of Victoria Harbor.
The phone rang, and someone asked him if he would go back for dinner.
He said back.
After hanging up the phone, he lit a cigarette.
The wind was strong and the soot was blown away. I don't know where it went.
He remembered his grandma's words: "Fists are used to protect people, not to hurt them."
Who did he protect?
