On December 27, 1984, a boy named Zhou Liqi was born in an ordinary family in Nanning, Guangxi.
Because he had been naughty since he was a child and advocated a free life, he "graduated on his own" after attending elementary school. It happened that his family was not financially well-off, so his parents did not force him. Coming out early could reduce the burden. Why? Are you happy?
Zhou Liqi, who was not good at anything and couldn't even count numbers, couldn't find any job in the society. He often hit the wall everywhere. He didn't want to do heavy and dirty work, so he used his crooked brains and started to do it. Some "sneaking" things.
After slowly getting on the road, Zhou Liqi traveled around the world under the name "Ah San".
When he first debuted, Zhou Liqi wanted to take action on everything he saw, but he often made himself precarious. Later, he discovered that there were more and more battery cars in Nanning, and he could earn a lot of money by buying one, which was enough for him. Been happy for several days.
So Zhou Liqi quickly adjusted his "work focus" and targeted the battery cars parked everywhere.
In order to get faster and get more profits, Zhou Liqi is self-taught. He is able to "open locks" of various types of locks, and he is familiar with the price of each brand of battery car. He doesn't like women with breasts that cost less than a thousand yuan. After all, they don't make much.
With "a skill" and a specific goal, Zhou Liqi began to work freely. According to what he later said, he had acquired no less than 1,000 battery cars and countless batteries. It is also called the "battery car terminator" by Nanning people.
However, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? It has become a common occurrence for Zhou Liqi to be called to "drink tea" by the police uncle. He underestimated his strength every time he came in or came out.
Let’s take a look at his “golden resume”:
On June 4, 2007, Zhou Liqi was sentenced to 9 months for committing theft;
On October 10, 2012, he was sentenced to one year and six months for committing the crime of theft;

On January 23, 2015, he was sentenced to 8 months for committing theft and fined 1,000 yuan.
Zhou Liqi told everyone with his own strength that he not only wet his shoes, but jumped directly into the river to take a bath. He was in the police more often than going home. He once said that he rarely went home. I don't go back for ten years. I only go back to take a look when something big happens at home.
It's really "love and dedication".
Zhou Liqi’s goal in life is very simple and clear, that is, he can get drunk now, and he will be happy and happy tomorrow. As soon as he has money, he will squander it everywhere, gamble, sing karaoke, and "have fun" with his friends. .
Living such a life was quite unrestrained. Zhou Liqi thought that his life was spent like this, but he never thought that one day he would become famous all over the country.
From August to the end of September 2015, Zhou Liqi collaborated with others to steal 6 electric vehicles worth more than 10,000 yuan. He was caught and was involved in a case last year during the investigation.
At about 16:00 on September 21, 2014, Zhou Liqi and his accomplice Tang Mou committed a theft in Santang Town, Xingning District, Nanning City. During the robbery, they were discovered by the car owner. During the escape, Zhou Liqi was caught by the car owner. The accomplice Tang Mou rescued Zhou Liqi by threatening the car owner with the steel drill in his hand.
As a result, before the two of them ran out of the village, they were chased by the car owner and the friend who called him. The two sides had a big fight, which eventually caused the car owner's right rear shoulder blade to be injured.
Although no serious harm was caused, the nature of the crime was completely different. In the end, Zhou Liqi was accused of theft and robbery. He was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months and fined 10,000 yuan.
At the police station, Zhou Liqi, who was handcuffed to the bars, was "full of joy" because for him, entering the police station was really more cordial than going home.
At that time, a reporter from a Nanning TV station came to interview. Zhou Liqi took the initiative to strike up a conversation out of fun, and then started a conversation that made him famous all over the Internet:

I don't know how to do business, so I just steal things like this to maintain my life like this. Reporter: Do you think it’s better to be at home or in a detention center? Zhou Liqi: Entering the detention center feels like going home. I go home every year, and I don’t go back on New Year’s Eve. If something happens at home, I just go back to see what’s going on. The feeling in the detention center is much better than at home! Reporter: Why? Zhou Liqi: It’s very boring to be alone at home. I have no friends or girlfriends to play with. But when I go inside, everyone is talented and speaks nicely. I really like being there.
