In the turbulent times of the Republic of China, wars raged all over the sky, and dragons and snakes competed for hegemony in foreign markets.
His name is Ma Yanlong, and he was born in a poor family at the bottom of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to cover his body was a normal feature of his childhood. His parents were bereaved at a young age, his family was broken up, and he experienced all the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age. In order to survive, he picked up garbage, worked as an apprentice, and did hard labor. He was bullied and looked down upon, and struggled on the edge of life and death several times.
When he was desperate, he carried only a few copper coins in his arms and rushed alone to Shanghai, a place full of opportunities and dangers. Starting from the humblest dock coolie, he was oppressed by gangsters, exploited by foremen, and humiliated by foreigners, but he never bowed his head. With his ruthlessness, bloodiness and extraordinary brains, he made his way in the mud step by step.
When he meets a bully, he fights with his life and slaps the scum in the face without mercy; when he meets a noble person, he seizes the opportunity and repays his kindness and rises step by step; he fights gangsters, fights foreigners, enters the business world, and walks through troubled times. He survives countless life and death reversals. From a grassroots ant who can be trampled by others, he counterattacks step by step to become the overlord who controls the black and white in Shanghai and dominates the situation!
Be poor and strong, and have the ambition not to fall into the clouds; in troubled times, you will eventually become a fierce dragon and cross the river! Let's see how Ma Yanlong, a poor boy from the countryside, wrote a legendary epic that changed his destiny in the turbulent Shanghai of the Republic of China!
