The End of Double Life
St Stephen ' s College Preparatory School , Peng , Sylvia - 12
M ore than one hundred years ago , the Old City of Shanghai was still the urban core of Shanghai . There were many bridges , one of which had a door under . This door wasn ’ t normal . Only one person in Shanghai knew about it . He wasn ’ t normal either . He was one of the most famous gang leader in the city . He was Mr . Du , and some people called him Sheng .
When Sheng was young , he wanted to be a successful leader . He was famous for causing trouble when he was small . At the age of eighteen , he burned down a cotton workshop .
“ Come back you little …!” yelled a man who was the boss of the workshop angrily . Sheng escaped as fast as he could . He dashed through the Xin Lu Street and went under the Du Juan bridge .
It was the bridge where the secret door was . His heart beat quickly . He laid on the side of the bridge and started to enjoy the pleasure of burning down the workshop .
Suddenly , a brick went inside the bridge and a door opened . “ Hum ?” said Sheng to himself .
He was surprised and a little bit scared . He wanted to go inside , but was afraid that might be dangerous . However , to be a brave gang leader , he went in at last .
“ Oh , my God ! Look ! My machine works !” exclaimed a white-clothed weird looking lady . Sheng was amazed by all of the high-tech machinery in the place he was in .

“ Young man , you know what ? The name of the street changed about fifty years ago and can you please move out my way ? The traffic light is green now and it ’ s a one way street . I have been waiting for you to leave for five minutes and so have the others behind me .” After he said that , he pointed to a group of monsters of different colours .
“ Wow , he must feel good because he has a gang of monsters ,” Sheng thought and went away slowly . He didn ’ t forget to give the ‘ monster gang ’ a last look as he went away .
Sheng became friends with the white-clothed people and learnt about the future Shanghai . He found out the big monsters were called cars . When the traffic light facing the cars went green , you needed to get out of the way . People in the future thought he was quite smart because he always got to know how to use high-tech tools , such as the Iphone 7 , very quickly . So they thought a doctor might be a suitable job for him . At last , he became a famous doctor in modern life and saved a lot of people .
In the year when Sheng was twenty , he was bored of being a doctor . Deep inside him , he still wanted to be a bad guy and have his own gang . So he secretly took some high-tech weapons with him and went back to the Old Shanghai . Because of the high-tech equipment he had , many people wanted to join his gang . When he was twenty three , he was considered the most famous gangster in Old Shanghai . However , he still missed the
