Features: In the early 1990s, Yu Yi and Li Zhen, with $156 in their pockets, went to Romania to "chase their dreams." They faced a tough start—when they arrived in Bucharest, their only acquaintance didn’t come to the airport. Yu Yi, after a series of trials, finally found his footing, while Li Zhen first "embraced a 'golden child'" and made a fortune, only to lose everything due to gambling and lust later. Yu Yi’s university classmate and first love, Zhao Nan, was "dumped" by her boss into a night club in Hungary, becoming a prostitute. While trying to "rescue" her, Yu Yi unexpectedly received an "interest-free loan" and, after several twists and turns, finally entered the ranks of the wealthy. Zhao Nan’s husband, Yan Li, was the "boss" of the Chinese mafia in Romania. Despite doing many inhumane things, such as robbing money, goods, and kidnapping, he couldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of China. Wu Yu, Yan Li’s mistress, was also an extraordinary woman. From every pore of her body, it wasn’t just sweat that flowed out—it was also "business acumen," and she was a "machine" for creating stories. This book tells the story of a group of Chinese people "settling" in Eastern Europe. In a foreign land, some succeeded in starting businesses, while others struggled to maintain; some got rich, while others went bankrupt; some fought hard to survive, and others walked the line of the law.
