I am the only Korean academic in the town who has been admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology.
On the day I was expelled, my dad gave me his last twenty dollars: "If you can't go back, just live a decent life here."
I have no money, no household registration, and no way out.
From sleeping on a bench at the train station, to wearing a heavy bag on my shoulders, to chasing down two gangsters on a street with a kitchen knife - I entered the Harbin underground world step by step.
They called me a madman, a god of murder, and the number one killer under Qiao Simen.
But no one knew that I always carried the torn and glued admission notice in my pocket.
The most ruthless murderer in the Northeast was also the best student.
