Synopsis:

Beaten by my father. Bullied by my classmates. With nowhere else to turn, I ended up at the tattoo shop on the corner.

Word was that the owner was a small-time gangster—fierce in a fight and ruthless when he threw punches. Everyone in the neighborhood was afraid of him.

I pushed open the door and pulled a crumpled ten-yuan bill from my pocket.

Summoning all my courage, I asked,

“I heard you collect protection money… so… could you protect me too?”

Through the swirling cigarette smoke, the man curled his lips into a mocking smile.

“Whose kid are you? You’ve got some guts.”

Later, because of that ten yuan, he protected me for ten years.
