On a warm, breezy summer night in Hangzhou, China, Mr. Turbo came into the world. The air was soft, filled with the distant hum of passing cars along the lakefront and the gentle lapping of waves from West Lake. Born at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, his arrival passed quietly for the world, but for his parents, it marked the beginning of an uncertain journey.

His father, a modest government official handling foreign tourist registrations, believed in structure and discipline. His mother, gentle but withdrawn, preferred to stay home—a choice that frequently sparked arguments. His father believed more income was necessary for the family’s well-being, and their son, Mr. Turbo, was often at the center of these frustrations.

As a child, Mr. Turbo had little money. He would spend hours walking along the banks of West Lake, watching the tourists who could afford boat rides across the scenic waters. He dreamed of boarding one himself and would loiter by the ticket booth, hoping for a free ride. But luck never struck.

In school, Mr. Turbo was an indifferent student, showing little interest in his studies. He preferred throwing rocks into West Lake, watching sunsets, and daydreaming about faraway countries.. His father, increasingly exasperated, would scold him and, at times, resort to hitting him with a stick to try and instill discipline. But no matter how hard he tried, nothing seemed to change his son’s ways.

Finally, after years of tension and frequent arguments between his parents over his lack of ambition, his father, out of patience, made a drastic decision. At the age of 14, Mr. Turbo was sent to Beijing to live with his uncle Zheng, a rigid businessman who led a life of strict discipline. And so, with dreams still lingering in his heart, Mr. Turbo left the familiar streets of Hangzhou, venturing toward an unknown and uncertain future.

When Mr. Turbo arrived at his Uncle Zheng’s house, he intended to carry on with the same rebellious behavior he had shown his own family. His uncle lived in Chaoyang, one of the nicest parts of Beijing, and also had a seven-year-old son. From the very beginning, Mr. Turbo was disruptive. He didn’t study at school and was given detention on his first day for refusing to follow school policies.

When Uncle Zheng found out, he was furious. But Mr. Turbo wasn’t concerned—he was used to being beaten by his father and expected more of the same. However, his uncle punished him in a different way. Instead of physical punishment, Uncle Zheng withheld food for several days. It wasn’t until Mr. Turbo, weakened and hungry, went to his uncle and promised to apply himself in school in exchange for food that his uncle relented. He gave Mr. Turbo a simple bowl of rice and chicken and warned him: if it happened again, he would be thrown out of the house.

So, Mr. Turbo returned to school. He studied, earned decent grades, and followed school policies. Yet, despite his improved behavior, he always questioned the rules. He wasn’t one to follow policies blindly. For instance, instead of standing rigidly during school assemblies, he argued with his teachers that it was healthier for the body to sit during long gatherings. He had even researched it to support his claims.

This constant questioning irritated his teachers. Whatever the policy, Mr. Turbo challenged it. At one point, his behavior concerned the school enough that the parents of other students complained to Uncle Zheng. However, Mr. Turbo behaved impeccably at home and had become quite studious, though his focus was unusual—he spent his time studying how to change policies, evade them legally, and explore other loopholes. Uncle Zheng, relieved that his nephew wasn’t causing trouble at home, never questioned what Mr. Turbo was so quietly focused on. As long as there was no disruption, that was all he cared about.
