Features: In this autobiographical novel titled "The Professor Who Was a Rascal," Lin Jianlong tells the story of his own brave leaps beyond the shackles of life on the wheel of destiny. This book, published in Taiwan, caused a sensation in the country and won numerous awards consecutively: In 2000, it was voted the best by Taipei Metro passengers. He is the son of a miner and learned Chinese from mahjong from a young age, mastered arithmetic in pai gow, and recognized English from A-J-Q-K in Texas Hold'em. At the age of 23, he was imprisoned for "attempted murder," but he came to his senses completely behind the dark iron bars of life. Clutching the floating wood of poetry and climbing the ladder of knowledge, there was still light beyond the iron bars.
