The Age of Turbid Oil - the Jianghu in Gutter Oil

"The Age of Turbid Oil" is a realistic novel, based on the background of the transformation of the waste oil industry from barbaric growth to standardization from 2004 to 2020. In Nancheng in 2004, Lin Jianjun, a graduate of a private accounting college, walked out of campus and was hit hard when he was looking for a job. Academic qualifications were looked down upon, the mother was seriously ill and needed medicine, and the family was overwhelmed by debt. With nowhere to go in the workplace, he put aside his dignity as a scholar and plunged into the despised kitchen waste oil recycling business. There is no golden finger, no fighting with fists and kicks, and the account book in his hand becomes his only weapon. In the intricate underworld of the night market, territory, debts and relationships are dealt with. The knot between father and son is inextricable, his lover hopes that he will return to the right path, and life and conscience are torn apart day and night. Having earned money to survive, he has to face his own alienation and destruction. A scholar fell into the quagmire of the secular world, struggling to hold on to his bottom line and true heart amid the filth of fireworks. I personally experienced a period of unemployment between two jobs in 2004, and briefly worked in this industry with my parents. A large number of industry details and market insights in the book are derived from personal sightings and personal experiences. Note: The book distinguishes between legal industrial crude oil and illegal gutter oil. The protagonist firmly resists the return of waste oil to the dining table.
