Used Book – Shanghai Triad, Feiyu Bi, Claude Payen

In the 1930s, young Tang, known as "Rotten Egg," an ingenuous teenager, arrives in Shanghai from the countryside. Welcomed by his uncle who introduces him to the world of the mafia, his role is to serve Bijou, mistress of the leader of the Tiger Head gang. It is with Bijou, an artist, singer, and sexy dancer of Shanghai's hot nights, proud, capricious, and arrogant, that he will learn about life, in a world of luxury, with its hierarchies, privileges, and especially its rules: another world where money, jealousy, and betrayal reign as much as the lust for power. Before his childlike eyes, dramas will progressively unfold, where everyone's ambitions and passions clash. And where everyone stakes their life. Bi Feiyu's novel was adapted to the screen in 1995 by Zhang Yimou, under the title Shanghai Triad, starring Gong Li as Bijou.
