Underworld (unrelentingly dark, with almost no depictions of law-abiding society), not brainless, pseudo-documentary, ensemble cast, 1990s, Northeast China, fast-paced.
Northeast China in the 1990s was prosperous. Countless heavy industries stood here, sustaining generation after generation.
Fertile land, some of the world's finest heavy machinery manufacturing, and oil fields that seemed inexhaustible: all of this filled the people of this land with pride.
But this era also bred countless parasites, who survived by attaching themselves to industries closely tied to ordinary people's lives.
This book tells the story of a once-prosperous Northeast China: the earth-shaking events that took place in its cities, and the blood and passion spilled across this land.
Northeast China was not barren. In the 1990s, it was glorious, and its story deserves to be known.
The wind and snow bite to the bone, but hot blood never cools. This is a land of straightforward people: some prey on the weak, but most answer violence with violence.
Well written, worth reading, five stars!
Okay, ok, ok, ok, ok
