In the summer of 1998, 19-year-old Shen Xudong had only one wish: for his sister to finish school safely and for his mother to stop being bullied.

From the Nanjie Food Market to the entire Jiangbei City, it took him twenty years to climb to the top.
The brothers around him left one by one, some were lying in the tomb, and some disappeared into the sea of people.
The person he trusted the most betrayed him, and finally repaid him with his life.
