Northeast China in the Eighties: My Passionate Years

Bad news: In 1980, orphan Zhou Ye stood up for someone and made an enemy of Steel City’s local tyrant with one punch. Little did he know the manhunt was only just beginning!

Good news: He can bend steel bars with his bare hands, and the more he gets beaten, the fiercer he becomes. He can take on ten men with a single bench, though he doesn’t yet know that even a fist can fail him!

His childhood sweetheart gives him tenderness, his sister-in-law gives him his first pot of gold, a rich girl opens the door to the upper class for him, and an official’s daughter treats him like a sharp blade. Little does he know that every gift comes with a hidden price!

From a tavern bouncer earning just two yuan a day to the underground kingpin who commands Steel City, he survives the crackdown and seizes his chance amid the wave of layoffs. But after reaching the summit, he discovers that the hardest thing to defeat has never been his enemies, but the human heart!
