Chen Wangjiang, a young man from Fujian who failed the college entrance exam, plunged headfirst into Chongqing with the Five Ancestors Fist his grandfather had taught him.
At Chaotianmen Wharf, gangsters demanded protection money. At Caiyuanba Station, pickpockets stole his hard-earned cash. He endured it all, because his grandfather had told him, “If you can avoid a fight, don’t get into one.”
But then they laid a hand on the woman he loved...
Qian Xiaoyan, a Chongqing girl who called him a “damn fool” and worked herself to the bone to help him save for a home, lay dead in their rental apartment.
Chen Wangjiang’s eyes turned red. This time, he wouldn’t hold back.
“Martial arts aren’t about beating people up. They’re about getting back on your feet and fighting back after someone knocks you down.”
This is the story of an ordinary man who, in his darkest hour, grits his teeth, climbs back up, and fights his way to the top.
Cover tagline
“Chongqing has no sea, but someone there is waiting for me with their life.”
