That year, 16-year-old Yao Jianyun was in a rebellious period, and his strong body and vigorous energy were incompatible with his parents' conservative thinking. Once, he was criticized for education in a fight at school, and he was tired of the preaching of his parents and teachers, and he decided to run away from home.
Yao Jianyun came to a strange city and found a temporary job at a construction site. It's a mixed area of workers from all walks of life. At first, Yao Jianyun was very curious and yearning for this extensive environment.
However, the good times did not last long, and one day, several co-workers invited him to play cards and gamble together at night. Yao Jianyun was very disciplined at first, but after losing two hands, he was eager to win back for a while, so he began to raise.
Later, he lost all the watches and bicycles his parents bought for him.
At this moment, Yao Jianyun realized that he had fallen into the quagmire of gambling. Unfortunately, it was too late, he owed a huge gambling debt, and there was no way to repay the money. Yao Jianyun was enveloped by the fear of debt collection all day long, and he was depressed and depressed.
In this state of mind, he began to steal building materials and tools from the construction site and sell them for money. In the end, he was found and sent to a detention center.
During his days in prison, Yao Jianyun met a master known as the "Jiangxi Gambling King" - Yang Hongguang. This veteran, who is about to be released from prison, is respected in prison.
Yao Jianyun asked him a lot of gambling skills, and he became more and more fascinated by the "craft" of gambling.
His first thought after he was released from prison was to worship Yang Hongguang as his teacher. At first, Yang Hongguang didn't want to accept apprentices, but Yao Jianyun stalked and finally got what he wanted. Under Yang Hongguang's guidance, Yao Jianyun learned many tricks and how to control the situation at the table.
He is very diligent and can quickly handle the average master with ease.
In 1993, 30-year-old Yao Jianyun was already well-known and was known as the "Fuzhou Gambler". That year, he heard that there was a banker in a casino in the south who had a winning ticket, so he went to squat.
That person really quickly lost hundreds of thousands of Yu Yao Jianyun, and he was drenched in blood. This made Yao Jianyun see an opportunity, and he began to provoke the gamblers around him, and soon attracted a wealthy local businessman to fight.
The two agreed on an astonishing amount, and everyone present held their breath. In this battle, Yao Jianyun used all his strength, and finally played the other party in the palm of his hand.
When a gambler is sitting on a fortune of millions, he can't help but feel that he is in control of the world. Yao Jianyun is not exempt from vulgarity, at the moment of being the king and hegemon, he mistakenly thought that he had reached the peak of his life.
At the beginning of 1993, someone invited Yao Jianyun to participate in a high-stakes gambling game on ships, and the dealer contributed as much as 5 million yuan, and the winner took all. Yao Jianyun went to the appointment with full confidence, and he didn't take the sentence "The rivers and lakes are sinister, beware of traitors" to heart.
However, in this gamble that should have been won easily, Yao Jianyun fell into a carefully designed scam. This was originally a plan to "kill pigs", he was supposed to be the main messenger, but he became a pig at sea to be slaughtered! When Yao Jianyun realized that something was wrong, it was too late - he was firmly restrained by the horses beside him and could not resist.
Yao Jianyun only had time to hear the sneer of the group of traitors and the distant sound of engines, and he lost consciousness in a pool of blood all over the ground. When he woke up, he was already in a bed in a dilapidated hospital in Hong Kong.
Looking at his mutilated body, Yao Jianyun was desperate and blamed himself, at this moment he understood that he had failed and lost all his previous achievements.
For the next five years, Yao Jianyun lived in great fear, fearing that his fate would be trampled under his feet again. He did not dare to contact anyone, and he was isolated from the world.
Fate gave Yao Jianyun a chance to reinvent. After all kinds of disasters, he gradually realized that he needed to atone for his sins and correct the trajectory of his life. In 1998, he left all his remaining property to his wife and daughter, and he only brought some cash with him and embarked on the road of wandering.
In the beginning, Yao Jianyun tried to make a living by starting a business. He gathered a few disabled friends and formed a song and dance troupe. At first, the business was good, but it soon lost its financial resources.
This failure made him realize that he could no longer live a peaceful life like a normal person, and that he had to use his specialty - gambling.
So he began to perform poker skills in major casinos, impressing the audience with his ever-changing poker methods. Sometimes, he would also use his mutilated fingers to play some magic tricks, vividly satirizing the impermanence of life.
Many viewers in the audience were moved by the tragedy of his crippled person, and persuaded him to return to his old business and return to the gambling table. But Yao Jianyun never wanted to repeat the mistakes of the past and rejected all temptations.
From then on, he was determined to tell the world what had happened to him to stay away from the table, the root of all evil. He began to give lectures in various places to tell his story to his audience...... This became his mission for the rest of his life, even if he had to risk his life, he would not hesitate.
Yao Jianyun used his broken limbs to redeem people's respect for him. Many gamblers who once witnessed his rise to prominence now sit in his lectures and listen.
At first, some people didn't believe that a disabled person could be convincing, but when they heard about Yao Jianyun's own experience, everyone was deeply shocked.
One day in 2018, 56-year-old Yao Jianyun traveled to a small border town to tell his story to dozens of gamblers in a dilapidated dance hall. It's something he's repeated a thousand times over the past decade or so, but he's never tired.
Because Yao Jianyun knows that these people who have lost their way, just like him when he was young, urgently need a light to guide them home.
"I swear by my life, there is never a winner at the gaming table......" The men, women and children in the audience were all touched by Yao Jianyun's heartbreaking sincerity.
After the hour-long lecture, Yao Jianyun left the dance hall alone and went to a modest hotel on the outskirts of the city, where he found a small hidden room, lay down sleepily, and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the hotel staff found that Yao Jianyun had been dead for a long time. He is said to still have a faint smile on his face. All those who had been helped by him came to see off the unborn Merciful One.
Yao Jianyun has completed his 56 years of ups and downs in life, and he has no regrets.
