When Chen Mo first walked into the casino, he was 28 years old. He had a house, a car, a wife and a daughter, and a deposit of 200,000 in his account. He felt that his life was stable, but something was missing.
The missing "something" was found on the first night of winning money. Five dollars and eighty cents, a number, a heartbeat, an illusion that "I may have mastered the rules."
Ten years later, he was 38 years old, with no house or car, his wife and daughter, and a debt of 500,000. He stood on the overpass, looking at the lights of the city, and remembered the sound of rain that night ten years ago.
Then he jumped.
The moment Su Wan grabbed his wrist, Chen Mo didn't cry. All he said was, "I won three million and lost it all."
This is not a story about a gambler losing money. This is an epic story of how an ordinary person becomes a gambler step by step, and how he regains his personality in despair.
Gambling is not a behavior, it is a personality. It is about control and loss of control, rules and desires, escape and rebirth.
