“My history has two sides. You can choose either side to swim on indefinitely. If you choose the ‘past side’, you’ll find thousands of records kept by the police officers. These records are used in court proceedings. But what wasn’t recorded can be discussed freely. If you choose the ‘future side’, you’ll find something unbelievably important. Once upon a time, I owned this entire street—the most important street in the area. It was where all sorts of businesses were located. So much money and capital flowed through this street that it could have built a great nation. But those who own it are only interested in making profits. ‘What’s behind me, stay behind me,’ that’s what my friend said.”
