Born in Yulin, Guangxi in 1955, he smuggled into Hong Kong with his parents at the age of 4. Zhang Ziqiang grew from a low-income boy in the shanty town of Yau Ma Tei to the "King of Thieves of the Century" who was feared throughout Asia. In 1991, he robbed a cash transport truck at Kai Tak Airport at gunpoint and stole HK$160 million. After his arrest, he relied on the public opinion manipulation of his wife Luo Yanfang and top lawyers to overturn the case. Not only was he acquitted, but he also received 8 million in compensation from the British Hong Kong authorities. After that, he intensified his efforts - in 1996, he kidnapped Li Ka-shing's eldest son Li Zeju, broke into Li's house with a bomb on his waist, and extorted 1.038 Billion; in 1997, he kidnapped Sun Hung Kai Kwok Bing-xiang and extorted 600 million; he also planned to kidnap Macau gambling king Stanley Ho and smuggled 818 kilograms of explosives to blow up Stanley Prison to rescue his accomplice Ye Jihuan. However, in January 1998, this arrogant thief was arrested at the Jiangmen Offshore Bridge in Guangdong. In a battle of wits and courage with the pre-trial expert "Liang Lin", Zhang Ziqiang finally came to an end in the Guangzhou court - on December 5, the death penalty was immediately executed. The madness of an era has come to an end.
