Northeast China’s Underworld, 1999

In 1999, I set up a scheme and ran into a rival. Someone used my own trick against me, and I went to prison.

When I got out, my mother had died of heart disease, and my father, buried in debt, had drunk pesticide and killed himself. All that remained at home was my younger sister, whose eyes were filled with hatred.

I gave up running schemes, raised pigs, farmed the land, and brought her up.

But then her biological father came looking for her. This man turned out to be deeply implicated in my parents' deaths.

From that day on, the reason I went to prison, my parents' deaths, and my master's disappearance all began creeping back into my life, dragging me back into the underworld I had left behind.

I showed the world through my actions: Don't mess with me. I'm crazy!
