Tales of Rescue Operations in Southeast Asia

I'm Huang Senli. This novel tells the story of fictional Southeast Asian rescuers who cross scam compounds in various countries and repeatedly gamble with danger.

From the jungles of Myawaddy to the streets of Kokang, from the dead of night in Tachileik to dawn along the border, the protagonist and his team have faced huge bounties and brought trapped compatriots home from despair, working between gun sights and surveillance cameras. We have seen wounds on fictional characters, heard the cries of mothers searching for their children across a thousand miles, and bargained for lives by the second at negotiating tables with warlords and compound militias.

There are no power-fantasy heroics here, only the terror of being shot at while crossing a river, the suffocating tension at the negotiating table, and the choked words "We're home at last" as our compatriots set foot on their homeland. I wrote this to tear away the veil on the brutal truth of Southeast Asian scams, and to tell everyone: no matter what darkness you are trapped in, we will never give up on you.
