Those Years I Made My Way in the South with My Cousin's Wife

When I was twenty, I took the hundred yuan my mother had sewn into the sole of my shoe and headed south with my cousin and his wife to make my fortune.

Southern China in the 1990s was paved with gold, but also teeming with man-eating beasts.

I was bullied at the factory, set up, and betrayed by relatives…

To carve out a place for myself in a cutthroat world, and to make sure no one could ever trample me again,

I fought my way out of the mire, one step at a time, with fists harder than anyone else's!

I'll risk my life when others don't dare!

I'll blaze trails where others fear to tread!

From a dirt-poor nobody washing dishes and doing odd jobs to a mighty figure of the era, revered by all.

In this age of fiery sunsets, who will rule the tides of fortune?
