    Shanghai, 1930s; it was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, fascism and communism outrun, names invented, and fortunes made--and lost.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2800.html

    "Lucky" Jack Riley was the most notorious of those outlaws. An ex-U.S. Navy boxing champion, he escaped from prison and rose to become the Slots King of Shanghai. "Dapper" Joe Farren--a Jewish boy who fled Vienna's ghetto--ruled the nightclubs. His chorus lines rivalled Ziegfeld's.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2800.html

    In 1940, Lucky Jack and Dapper Joe bestrode the Shanghai Badlands like kings, while all around the Solitary Island was poverty, starvation, and war.

Shanghai was their playground for a flickering few years, a city where for a fleeting moment even the wildest dreams could come true.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2800.html
