In 2003, a small border town.
Twenty-one-year-old Cheng Gang walked into this strange town in the rain with a kitchen knife and a poor life. I wanted to make a living on the stove, but I accidentally stumbled into Heshun Hall, and also walked into the intertwined relationship situation, interest field and life and death of black and white.
From a foreign cook who was looked down upon by others to a figure who was able to survive in the turbulence of the county town, Chenggang relied not on luck, but on endurance, ruthlessness, memory and the unwillingness to bow his head.
He has seen the dirtiest games and the truest love. Qiuyue in the foot-washing city, Lin Qinghe in the institution courtyard, Fourth Brother in the Jianghu, Lao Zhou at the wine table... Everyone is pushing him forward, and forcing him step by step deeper into the darkness.
When power, love, betrayal and old cases were suppressed at the same time, he realized: the most difficult thing to keep in this life is not face, not money, not position, but the unstained things in the heart.
The gray stories of the 2000s have me thinking!
