Zhang San was born in a broken family and lacked parental love since he was a child. He longs for attention and recognition, but he has chosen the wrong path. At the age of 17, Zhang San joined a local underworld organization in search of excitement.
At first, Zhang San was loyal to the organization and was willing to do some appalling deeds. Over time, Zhang San gradually lost his moral bottom line and became unrecognizable.
On that day, Zhang San came to the secret room where the organization gathered as usual, but learned that the boss was going to demote him and hand him over to a newcomer. Zhang San was suddenly furious, determined to get rid of the boss and set up his own door.
So he secretly contacted a rival organization, intending to betray and subvert his own.
Zhang San, who is a Crouching Tiger, has made a meticulous and thorough plan. He forged the boss's orders to assemble the members of the group at X Square in the center of the city. The police received the secret report and sent a large number of police forces to round up.
Zhang San had already left the scene, allowing his former brothers to fall into the police net.
In order to cut off the back road, Zhang San quietly returned to the organization's station and killed the boss and his right-hand man. He then brutally murdered 11 innocent civilians throughout the city, intent on blaming the hostile group.
A month later, Zhang San's organization had silently disappeared. And he also ushered in a doomed end.
After a month of bizarre homicides, the police have finally found a major breakthrough. After the murderer commits the crime, the siempre will leave a unique symbol on the wall.
After investigation, the police locked down the code that the symbol came from the underworld organization. So the police decided to arrest the members of the group, one of whom was Zhang San.
At first, Zhang San was comfortable with the police's questioning. But in the face of a large amount of evidence, he finally admitted that he was the main suspect. After interrogation, it was learned that Zhang San's move was to seize the power of the organization.
In the courtroom, Zhang listened to the judge with a blank face and sentenced him to death for the murder of 11 people.
Zhang San in prison did not show repentance. He indifferently accepted the end he was about to face, and even showed some excitement. Zhang San did not regret what he had done, but regretted that the plan failed and was arrested by the police.
He is determined to take advantage of the last time to carry out a final prison escape, and the police must be doubly careful.
For Zhang San, prison is another stage to show his skills and realize his ambitions. With his extraordinary wisdom and action, he soon gained a foothold in prison.
At first, Zhang San used careful observation to study the individual prisoners, analyzing their personalities, Xi, and networks. A month later, he figured out the ecological structure of the prison.
So Zhang San began to devise how to use these people to achieve prison escape.
First and foremost, there are a few corners in the prison. These people control important places such as canteens and laundry rooms. Zhang San first secretly delivered cigarettes and needles to them to gain their trust.
Later, he pretended to denounce these people to the prison warden, and then came forward to resolve the conflict and gain gratitude. Gradually, these horns obeyed Zhang Sanyan.
Next, Zhang San won over important members of the workshop and kitchen with a reward for obtaining forbidden items. This gave him the tools he needed to escape from the jail. At the same time, Zhang San also bribed some able-bodied prisoners to build up the force needed to escape.
Finally, Zhang San aimed at the soft persimmon among the prison guards. He deliberately injured himself on the occasion of the violation, and then generously gave gifts to the prison guards who participated in stopping it. After a few times, the prison guards knew Zhang San inside out.
Under the watchful eye of the prison warden, Zhang San spent four months establishing a small group. This laid the groundwork for his later prison breaks. Despite the twists and turns in the process, Zhang San's patience and strategy still allowed him to get his wish.
The day before the plan was launched, Zhang San finally waited for the best time.
According to the prison guards he bribed, the next day was the day when the prison warden went out to check. Only a few poorly guarded sentry posts remained. Zhang San immediately ordered action.
He sent his henchmen to set fires to key locations, and in the chaos they occupied the radio room to broadcast false instructions and confuse the prison guards. At the same time, Zhang San led people directly to the exit, and broke through the door with the pliers obtained in advance.
Sure enough, the initial chaos left the prison guards scrambling. By the time they reacted, Zhang San had already killed several prison guards who were blocking and ran to the prison gate. The final checkpoint was guarded by the prison guards bribed by Zhang San, who unlocked the door and let him leave.
Later investigation found that the escape was meticulously planned and cleverly modified. Zhang San took advantage of the routine prison inspection to create chaos to confuse the public. He bribed Neiying to open up many defenses and showed no mercy to the resisting prison guards.
If it weren't for the timely blockade by the police, Zhang San would have been able to escape.
Although the escape ended in failure, it was enough to be written into prison management textbooks. It exposes the truth that prison security is full of loopholes and chaotic management. It also shows that in the face of strong will, no matter how strong the wall is, it is as easy as tissue paper.
Zhang San's planning ability and determination to act impressed everyone. This became the most thrilling chapter of his legendary life.
After being released from prison, Zhang San lurked in a secluded safe house. He plans to recuperate and make his next plan of action. However, the good times did not last long, and the informant made Zhang San exposed, and the police arrested him again.
This time, the police took extra close precautions. Zhang San was confined alone in a cell by the window, surrounded by armed guards. He was no longer able to contact outside the prison or plot against his fellow inmates.
The next trial was just a formality, and Zhang San had already seen the end of his fate.
The day before the execution, prison guards found that Zhang San had not rested all night, but was laughing maniacally. The next morning, he came to the execution ground with a smile on his face, which made everyone creepy.
At the moment before the end of his life, Zhang San looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter was poignant and thrilling. He proves himself to be a madman at the end.
This was the happiest moment in Zhang San's life, because he finally got rid of the pain of failure. Death set him free, and he laughed for a new life in the afterlife.
Despite showing madness, Zhang San still retained his sanity and chose the end that best suited his life. Those present knew that this was the end of a nightmare legend.
The legendary life of Zhang San was not forgotten after the execution. A few years later, a bold filmmaker decided to adapt it into a film. The film unreservedly shows Zhang San's growth, planning, crime, prison life, and final ending.
The wonderful prison escape plot and Zhang San's personality portrayal in the film have attracted widespread attention. On the day of the screening, the theater was crowded with people who wanted to buy tickets.
Despite the controversy surrounding the brutal scenes, the film's artistry and topicality made it a huge success.
At subsequent film festivals, the film won a number of awards, including Best Director, Best Actor and other important awards. From an unknown small role to dominating the big screen, Zhang San realized his "rebirth" on the screen.
His legend continues to influence future generations and portends great potential for films of similar genres.
