Niu Xiangui remembered that when he was in junior high, the thing he looked forward to most after school each day was going to the internet café.
Back then, the restrictions on minors using the internet weren't as strict as they became later, and many internet cafés didn't require an ID card for entry; there were even some elementary school students inside chatting on QQ and playing Audition Online.
There were shirtless young people cursing while playing Counter-Strike, and World of Warcraft players were busy clearing dungeons for gear or dueling others in PK.
The entire internet café was permeated with the pungent smell of secondhand smoke and body odor.
However, for Niu Xiangui at that age, it was heaven.
His love for the internet also originated from there, although this passion was gradually worn down after he entered the industry.
