Os de Baixo Nível: Minha Carreira no Mundo das Artes Marciais
O jianghu das nove correntes baixas nunca foi de lealdade, fígado e coração, nem de romance entre homens e mulheres. Mas era só para misturar um prato de arroz e comer. Por causa do dinheiro, sem limites, usando todos os extremos, abelhas, vespas, passarinhos e andorinhas, pele dourada pendurada com cores, avaliando grupos e ajustando os salgueiros. Nesta minha vida, caminhando pelo jianghu, se me perguntasses o que é o jianghu, eu só poderia dizer: No jianghu, é o jogo das mentes humanas.

In 1999, I was nineteen, repeating my senior year in high school for the third time. That year’s tuition came from my father selling our family’s sow and borrowing some money from the neighbors to make up the difference.
Perhaps it was the fear that, if I failed yet again, the light in my father's eyes would fade, or perhaps I finally came to my senses—my grades began to improve, and I was convinced that this year would bring me something worthwhile.
Yet, just as hope ignited within me and I was filled with determination, an accident changed the course of my fate. A very beautiful girl in my class came to ask me a math question; I remember her name clearly—Li Linlin, widely recognized as the school beauty.
Everyone has a love for beauty. She came to me for help, and I answered patiently. It should have been a perfectly ordinary event, but during the process, one of her pursuers saw us. He was the notorious school bully, Wu Chen.
Wu Chen had pursued Li Linlin without success. Seeing this scene, he bore a grudge against me. After class, a group blocked me in the restroom. No matter how I explained, it was useless. After being slapped several times, he forced me to kneel and apologize, cursing my family.
Unable to bear it, I fought back. It was one against many, but I clung fiercely to Wu Chen, pounding my fists into his face.
Born in the countryside, I had strength to spare.
In the end, I was beaten to the ground, but Wu Chen suffered a broken nose and a ruptured eardrum—minor injuries by medical definition.
