[Counterattack from the Bottom] [Millennium] [Urban Jianghu] [Youth Enlightenment]
In the summer of 2002, eighteen-year-old Lu Ye took half a book of herbal remedies passed down by his grandfather and boarded the green train south to join his sister-in-law Shen Man, whom he had only seen in photos. Pushing open the door of the dilapidated rental house, he discovered that his sister-in-law was bullied on the assembly line during the day and went to nightclubs to eke out a living in order to support his education. Seeing the scars on his sister-in-law's body and the fatigue in her eyes, Lu Ye clenched his fists and secretly vowed to shoulder this responsibility. From scolding the factory management who bullied his co-workers in the workshop, to protecting passers-by on the streets who were entangled by gangsters; from the amateur fighting ring under the overpass, to gradually establishing a foothold in Guancheng - Lu Ye relied on the blood in his bones and the tenacity to refuse to admit defeat, and he managed to make a way for himself and his sister-in-law to survive in this barbaric millennium. When various forces forced them into a desperate situation, Lu Ye used his purest passion and responsibility to prove to the whole world that a young man who crawled out of the dirt can live upright.
