The Heroes of Jiangcheng Ask for Directions on the River Beach

In the 1990s, on the banks of the river city, Chen Huazi, a gangster living on the river beach, lived at the muddy bottom. He wanders the streets with a sense of loyalty, values ​​his brothers, and gets into trouble with brute force. He thinks that loyalty and being ruthless are the only guarantees for survival, but in reality he only has embarrassment and humiliation. After a gambling raid, his brothers were imprisoned on his behalf. Chen Huazi was imprisoned and his fate suddenly plummeted. The short period of freedom did not bring him any respite. For some reason, he was sent to the detention center again and suffered all kinds of humiliation in the prison. In order to survive, he fought hard to gain a place, which earned others awe, but he also paid a heavy price of increased punishment. After he was released from prison, he did not usher in a new life. Instead, he was bullied and trampled on by the local gangster Huangpi Laoqi. In the muddy ground of Lianhua Lake on a cold night, the bruised Chen Huazi bid farewell to his resigned self, and swore to the lake that he would never let anyone step into the dust again, completely burying his obsession with counterattack. In a desperate situation, the appearance of his brother-in-law Tong Jianguo opened up a way out for him. Tong Jianguo, who is well versed in the ways of the world and is good at calculations, taught him to curb his anger, quit impetuousness, and lose the brute force mentality of a street gangster. Under the guidance of his brother-in-law, Chen Huazi completely transformed, abandoning his ruthless lifestyle and learning to use information and strategies to make plans. He holds the illegal account book of Huangpi Laoqi, uses information as a sharp blade, and does not rely on brute force to fight to the death. He uses his wisdom to drive away the local snakes, saves the first bucket of hard-earned gold, and powerfully clears the obstacles in the way. From struggling to get up from the muddy years, from relying on fists to relying on his brain to stand up, Chen Huazi completed the first transformation of a low-level person.
