Fourteen years ago, Cutty was a legend on the streets of Bacheng. After killing two people in a row, he waited for the arrival of the police, and took the responsibility without fear, and was loyal to the gang and the leader. Fourteen years later, when he returned from prison, he gradually discovered that although Bacheng was still the same Bacheng, the world had changed, and people's hearts were not ancient. Compared with the life of walking on luxury and knife-edge at the same time, Cutty lamented that he no longer belonged to this era, and retired to the forest.

Like the immigrants from South America, he did the only manual labor he could. Chatting with your boss while mowing your employer's lawn, learning that the boss was a fellow man, and sometimes remembering that he once drove a golden convertible. He wanted to talk about his expectations for change. The boss only said to him: "You want to get back on the right track, but you won't get a trophy for it.

" down. He took care of Avon's borrowing money, and after several rounds, he opened his own boxing gym with the help of the community pastor, and helped some street children find new hobbies and ways to make a living. Like Bubbles, Cutty has blazed a path beyond his origin and destiny under the almost unshakable ruthlessness of Bacheng, casting a faint light on this almost fateful series.

Of course, Cutty is not perfect, and the spring night with the children's mother once caused him trouble, but in any case, he can be worthy of Avon's words

"He is a man."
