    😭 I cried watching it! It's not the crying that comes from being tortured, it's the feeling of "fatigue" that goes deep into one's bones! 📖 Book title: "Abandoned Son Returns to Glory in Desperate Situation" Others write about killers who are cool and domineering, but the protagonist Jiang Mu in this book made me see the emptiness behind the killing. In order to catch a traitor, they had to go deep into the wandering girl's house full of "human distortions". Seeing the once aloof man in the photo now drunk and dreaming, Jiang Mu didn't feel the pleasure of getting revenge. On the contrary, when his teammates strangled the opponent's neck with a fishing line and watched the face struggle and deform, what he felt was an indescribable boredom. 🥀 "The endless vendetta, fighting violence with violence, seems to have trapped him in a death cycle in his life, with no end in sight." Is this the fate of the "abandoned son"? Even after returning to glory, there is still that barren empty space deep in my heart. The author's description of this kind of violent aesthetics is too restrained and cruel. There is no blood, only endless desolation. 💔 The most heart-wrenching moment: Just when Jiang Mu turned sideways to avoid this bloody scene, a slender figure holding a fruit knife rushed in from the door. At that moment, will he feel relief, or deeper despair? If you are tired of reading simple cool articles and want to read some flesh-and-blood and painful words, this book is definitely worth stopping and savoring. # Desperation abandoned son returns to glory #deep good article #human nature #gangster novel #abusive heart recommendation
