   A young Hongmen master of mixed Chinese and American descent, fought his way from the swords and shadows of the western wilderness to the flames of war in the Far East battlefield; from ending the era of outlaws with his own hands, to dedicating his wealth to fight against the entire Axis Powers. When the business empire of the Blackwater Conference collapsed, he allowed capital to find its hardest home - turning it into a sharp blade that pierced the invaders' hearts. Here are the joyful grievances of the West: gang wars, sharpshooting duels, and cowboy pride. Every shot is knocking on the door of the old era; here are the blood and tears of the home and country of the Republic of China: the loyal bones of Huanghuagang, the iron wall of Su Meiyang, and the unrepentant struggle of Mount Paektu. Every page is a footnote to the backbone of the nation; Here is the strategizing of the shopping mall: from fighting against trusts to laying out the global industrial chain, every step is rewriting the logic of capital; here is the shocking handiwork of war: the Lend-Lease Act, the bloody battle in the Pacific, the legendary merchant ships. Behind the game of great powers is the turbulent collision between reckless heroes and the current of the times. This is not the story of one person, but of a group of outlaws, revolutionaries, businessmen, and tough men who used their knives, blood, and lives to change their fate against the odds on the world's poker table - from the wilderness to the world, from yesterday to today, they never took a step back.

    I recommend a book I read recently. The protagonist, an agricultural student, travels back in time to become a dying refugee, uses what he has learned to save himself, and meets Liu Bei. The three of them become brothers and start farming to conquer the world.
