To be rich, build roads first

There is also another Chinese translation in the film, which is also a good way of pirates, which is very appropriate and vivid.

The classic story of "Thieves also have the right way" comes from "Zhuangzi." The apprentice of Plantar asked, how can he be a thief?
He said that you must have five points before you can become a thief. Before the theft, it is wise to judge the situation to decide whether it can be started or not; it is sacred to be able to guess the location of the house and property; when acting, take the lead, take the lead, and be brave; after the theft, the last one to leave is righteous; The property is distributed fairly to the subordinates for benevolence.

Is it easy to steal something? Obviously no, it is more difficult to be a triad. First of all, you have to choose an organization to join. You must abide by the rules of the gang. You must not betray your brothers and leaders. You must pay protection fees in a timely manner. Therefore, the underworld is a very stressful industry, and there is no strong cosmos, and it splits its personality first.
I think of the boss in the TV series "Underworld", who collapsed to see a psychiatrist due to the pressures of being unbearable to middle-aged. Only when he was seeing a doctor did he find peace of mind. Let him return to his true inner world, and not be bothered by things in the gang and at home.

On the road to crime, the underworld will also try to circumvent the law. In the role of society, they will try to clean themselves up.
To be rich, of course, they also need status. They will appear in high-end restaurants, and they will also participate in elegant music concerts. They will be decorated with taste, at least so that they can raise their heads and walk. In fact, more accompanied by them, there is also a kind of subconscious inferiority complex. This makes them extremely sensitive. If someone touches their self-esteem a little, these people will be furious and even reward you with a bullet.

The underworld also pays attention to the tender side. Except for the ability to commit crimes, they are no different from normal human beings and have a variety of emotional appeals. But in broad daylight, it is difficult to realize such demands. They have more unspeakable pain than ordinary people.

There is nothing new under the sun, and those things are repeated over and over again.
