The shocking 327 incident, 319 incident, the "518" stock market surge, and the Suzhou red bean battle in 1995. The bizarre and bloody battle over Hainan coffee in 1996. The Hainan rubber trading that was like rowing against the current in 1997. The wild swings of Shanghai rubber futures in 1998 and 1999, and so on. In this book, readers not only get to see many little-known historical moments from the domestic stock and futures markets but also gain profound insights into the author's deep self-exploration of human nature and psychology, his journey in understanding investment philosophy and mindset, which is thought-provoking and enlightening. It is an indispensable and captivating investment memoir for participants in the domestic stock and futures markets.
