Scar Brothers: The Jianghu of Tongliao, Inner Mongolia

This novel is adapted from real events, with the plot and characters artistically processed. The cases are fictional, and truth and writing are interwoven. As the saying goes, without fiction there would be no novel, so readers should not confuse the story with real people or events; any resemblance is purely coincidental.

What is the jianghu? As long as there are people, there are grudges; as long as there are grudges, there is jianghu.

But have you really seen the jianghu? The intrigue, deceit, blade-for-blade violence, and sudden death in the streets—all of it is horrifying. Some people also say that the jianghu is all about whose fists are harder and whose heart is crueler, and that the cruelest and most vicious can rise above the rest.

But what those people see is only one part of it. The jianghu has always been synonymous with bloodshed and cruelty. Once you choose this path, you have to be worse than the bad guys and more vicious than the villains! The jianghu is the nightmare of every ordinary person, yet also the fantasy of every youth. Who wouldn’t want to become a legendary figure? Sadly, timing and fate decide otherwise.

Today, let us tell a tale of old jianghu days, the grudges and affection of social big shots, and the bloody storms of a generation’s hero.
