He hates evil, clearly distinguishes right from wrong, and considers himself an upright gentleman. However, after entering society, a series of events gradually cause him to lose himself, involuntarily falling into an endless abyss… This young man's story actually represents the choices of the vast majority of people in this society. You are mortal, not a god; you have humanity. So, if you have the opportunity to become the protagonist in this book, you will also never look back. Don't believe it? You can try… The second book: A realistic military espionage story. Why did the Japanese love Shanghai so much? There's a reason: In 1945, after the victory against Japan, 100,000 Japanese were repatriated from Shanghai, each only allowed to carry 1,000 yen in cash… The question arises: where did the vast wealth created by the Japanese over decades of managing Shanghai go?
