story about a man, once the rightful leader of the family, driven from his
home and community but still claims to be the head of the household,
and acts as if he will one day be the leader again; the business he starts
in his new location is at times taken over by different companies and owners
but he stays and is autonomous once more but is threatened with extermination
by the ones he used to control; An allegory for the KMT. ;He becomes
corrupt and unfair in his business. And how will it end? The world may never care.

Man hears that each cigarette you smoke decreases your life expectancy by 1 minute. Then gets his fortune told and learns the exact time when he's expected to die, and how. Tries to manipulate, therefore, the time when he dies to a more fortunate time according to fortune teller-type chart. Might have to overcompensate later when he overshoots his mark by taking a life-extending measure. And how to end it?
