1994, Qingshui County, Henan. Li Shan, a twenty-year-old textile factory worker, discovered that he had a pair of steady hands while playing cards in the workroom. The factory collapsed, his mother fell ill, and his first love left. He found a way to survive at the gambling table.
From the 50-cent landlord fight to underground casinos, from county teahouses to Zhengzhou mobile bureaus, from Junket Operators to Southeast Asian casino owners. For thirty years, he walked farther and farther, thinking that he was walking upwards, but in fact his face was facing upwards and his feet were pointing downwards.
After his mother passed away, he was either greedy for money or unable to stop. The sounds at the gambling table filled the hole for thirty years.
