Introduction:
In the cold winter of 1998, Lin Hai, a laid-off worker, went south to Dongguan, penniless, and fell to the bottom of society. From sweatshops to urban villages, from prisons to the neon lights of Houjie, he relied on his ruthlessness and flexibility to survive in the gray area and complete the bloody primitive accumulation. As his business empire expanded, he was trapped in the fatal whirlpool of capital, power and beauty, and was entangled with three confidantes from different backgrounds for half his life. When the storm comes, the brothers turn against each other, the beauty is separated, and the black and white are hunting him. He must find a destination for his twenty years in the world before the bloody dawn. This is a personal epic spanning twenty years, witnessing the light and darkness, crime and punishment, love and justice in the turbulent era of the Greater Bay Area. The world is far away, but life goes on.
