Northeast Jianghu: Jiao Yuannan of Bingcheng

Northern China in the 1980s, especially Bingcheng, was a legendary underworld. In that era, it was said, 'The water is shallow but there are many turtles; everywhere you look, there are big shots.'

People often said it was better to run into a ghost on the road than to run into these men.

There was heroism drenched in blood, righteous loyalty held to the end, sinister schemes and power struggles, and cold blades and guns turned against one another.

All things in the world are this complicated, and that goes doubly for this mixed and chaotic underworld, where one generation after another of arrogant men rise up.

This book will faithfully record more than ten years of the black-road lives of the social bosses of Bingcheng, filled with brutal rivalries, vicious fights, dark deals, biting winter winds, fiery courage, and tragic fates. It will take you into the real underworld and let you witness the true winds and clouds of jianghu.
