Sitting around the table in The Mahjong Party was an illegal housing agent and three of his male tenants, playing the game of Mahjong. It indeed looked like a party and Mahjong frenzy, thus the name, The Mahjong Party.
The housing agent was known to cheat at every given opportunity that he was faced with, and somewhere along the line of the book, it was stated that two of the tenants that he played with always aided him in cheating at the game. The stakes must have been high for him to take cheating at the game so seriously, as I do not imagine that he cheated just because he didn’t want to lose a friendly game.
Nevertheless, these tenants that aided the housing agent to cheat had something up their sleeves that the housing agent had done as a favor for them, so they literally owed him their loyalty. He got away with cheating time without a number, unknown to him that the last tenant that was not involved in being his accomplice was watching him keenly.

Part 1: Story Line of The Mahjong Party
Wang Ming started the narration of The Mahjong Party Comic. He introduced himself as a born master of the Mahjong Party. He also introduced the other players of the game, narrating that The Mahjong Party was a game that helped to relieve boredom. He introduced every player on board with him, and then the story starts while the players are being narrated.
The first player to be introduced is the notorious, Zhou Peng, who he says is an illegal letting agent that fed off by exploiting and conniving with others.
Zhou Peng was a natural cheat in The Mahjong Party, just as he was in his ordinary life doings. A conversation started with Zhou Peng while the game was going on, concerning the death of the wife of one of the players that were with them, his name is Zheng Hui, a doctor, a cheat, and a dubious man in general. Zhou Peng dared to ask doctor Zheng Hui why he was still faithfully playing The Mahjong Party when his wife had just died not up to twenty-four hours ago. Isn’t that insane?
A man had just lost his wife, yet he played board games buoyantly as if nothing happened. If Zheng Hui was ever suspected to have been the one that killed his wife, it would have made sense because there can be no explanation as to why a man would have lost his wife just the previous night and was out playing with his gang.
The excuse that Zheng Hui gave for not being in mourning because of his late wife was that she had lived a fulfilled life. I wonder, was she that old?
The picture that accompanied this statement by Zheng Hui in the book portrayed a man that did not shed even a single tear concerning his wife’s passing. He smiled buoyantly as if he was happy that his wife had died. While this discussion was going on between the doctor and the agent, Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng was heavily cheating.
To cut the long story short, thinking deeply about who might have killed the doctor’s wife, Zheng Hui, the doctor, said that the police were investigating the issue. Zhou Peng ran his tongue for several reasons until Wang Ming started to point accusing fingers at him, to Zhou Peng’s surprise.
Wang Ming narrated how past events had led up to him suspect that the person that had killed Zheng Hui’s wife was no other than Zhou Peng. Interesting. I wonder why Zhou Peng would have cared to kill a woman and wife of a tenant that did business with him.
You have to read the book in depth to find out how the narrative unfolded in this thrilling comic book. I have hardly come across comics with such a plot twist as this one.
Part 2: Hot Chapters of The Mahjong Party
Chapter 1
The Mahjong Party were sitting and playing their game as usual, with Wang Ming starting the narration. He then introduces Zhou Peng, a notorious and illegal agent. I must commend the maker of the comic for perfectly depicting the characters while drawing the comic.
Every facial expression and detail buttressed the character and the energy that the author was trying to portray, and it made the book easier to read as a result of this careful detail. Moving forward in this chapter, Zhou Peng starts interrogating Zheng Hui, the dubious doctor concerning the death of his wife.
In this chapter of the book, it is easy for readers to depict the characters at once, unlike some books with a slow pace that saves most of the characters for the middle part of the book and only starts to reveal them slowly. All the characters of The Mahjong Party were in full swing in this part of the book.
Chapter 2
In this chapter of The Mahjong Party Book, Zhou Peng is seen narrating the role he played in the reality of the other two players of The Mahjong Party. The first person he mentioned was the youth, Wu Yi, a young man that lived with his parents and was behind in his rent.
Zhou Peng, being an agent and in charge of the home that Wu Yi lived in with his parents, turned a blind eye to the debts owed by Wu Yi, and as a result, Wu Yi watched Zhou Peng cheat in every single Mahjong game, or else he would risk being evicted from his house.
The second person that Zhou Peng talked about was Zheng Hui, the doctor. Zheng Hui had a case of wrong diagnosis of a patient one time in the past that resulted in casualties, and Zhou Peng helped to calm down the family of the wrongly diagnosed patient, or else, Zheng Hui might have been jailed.
As a result, Zheng Hui also turned a blind eye to Zhou Peng’s cheating, or else he would risk being exposed for his wrongs to the public.
Part 3: Evaluate The Mahjong Party
Like I said when I was narrating the plot, I hardly come across comics that are so well thought-out and deliberately written. The plot is awesome. Playing board games solely with a particular group of people always comes with its dosage of gossip and secrets between the players, and this book called The Mahjong Party carries a lot of this sort of detail.
Regular things that happen in everyday life were buttressed by the author in this thrilling and exciting book that will leave readers stuck on it. Ten out of ten, this is a fantastic work of literary art.
