At sixteen, I fell for someone I shouldn't have.
At twenty, I went south to Dongguan with my cousin and his wife to find work. But at the train station, I saw my cousin claim he was going to the restroom, then sneak off to fool around in a car with a married woman.
After that, the image I had of my cousin was shattered, and I began to entertain much bolder thoughts about his wife.
To get his wife to agree to a divorce as soon as possible, my cousin even egged on a thug to harass her relentlessly!
To protect her, I started working like crazy to make money. This poor country boy from out of town gradually went from a factory hand to a small-time boss, then a big-time boss, becoming one of the city's leading figures.
In Dongguan, I met all kinds of men and women, and made one goddess after another, all of whom once looked down on me, bow their proud heads.
But no matter how close I grew to those girls, the woman I cared about most was always my cousin's wife.
