In China, gambling has long been part of life, but with a society increasingly divided by rich and poor, the Chinese have become obsessed with winning easy money. As they pin their hopes on games of luck and fortune, four larger-than-life gamblers bring us on an emotional search for belief and identity in money-centric modern China.
