Features: He roamed the bustling streets of Shanghai, studied in Japan twice, rose to prominence in politics, business, and the military, and navigated among numerous beauties; he was obsessed with power politics, skilled in adaptation, and mastered intrigue at his fingertips; he was cunning and shrewd, masterful in strategy, and without a single soldier, he secretly retreated to the western frontier, successfully seizing the highest power in Xinjiang in less than three years and ruling the region for over a decade. He was once Stalin's "favored one," he was once Chiang Kai-shek's "student," he was once Zhang Zuolin's "loyal warrior," and he was also once the Communist Party's "sincere friend." He was charming and adept at navigating between various factions, killing both his enemies and his own kin, always finding a plausible justification for his actions. He was the "Godfather of the Northwest"—Sheng Shicai.
