In 1903

Shanghai

...is a dream of Chinese

If they work hard, they can

take care of their family

To create the career,

they even risk thei lives

There is just one moral code

"the survival of the fittest"

Some people here work very hard

for a better future

But the number of people go wrong way,

...enter the gangs is much more than that.

The seduction of wine, money blinds them,

and the finally consequence is death

However,

Young people continue to flow into

this city more and more,

to find the dreams

Beat him!

Brother Ma.

Son, you shouldn't live in this village

You and Xi Shi take Zai Hua

to Shanghai to find her father

Your left arm with terrible power,

can injure people in fighting.

In the future, if you want to fight,

think about me first.

We have arrived Shanhai.

Money or cheer are acceptable!

Thanks!

Scoundrel!

We arrived.

Welcome to Shanhai.

Daddy!

Is this the Shanghai's villa that

brother Niu said?

So bad!

This is better many times than our village

Who are you looking for? Scoundrel!

- Brother Niu.

- Which Niu?

Niu En Guang, brother Niu.

Niu En Guang? It's no wonder that...

Lunch time!!!

Brothers, hurry up.

You get late and there will be nothing left

- Let me through. - Why do you come so soon?

- Master Bing.

Are they your fellow?

Yeah. They need my help

Being a bigbrother,

atleast I have to provide them food

Don't continue your business anymore

let's find a manual job

it's more stable for both of you

and your brothers.

You can not ask for a

delay of rent too long

I just give you 2 days

Ok, ok.

Brothers, let's eat!

This kind of inn in Shanghai

if the signboard is fallen

many people will be crush

No way. I think Master Bing is a good man

Good man?

Good man in Shanghai are just like

public vehicle.

Everyone get get on and sit.

I'm your Bigbrother

so tonight, I will show you

what is "Shanghai by night".

Are you so hungry?

Brother Niu.

People say that Shanghai

is a prosperous city

Why is it so deserted?

This is now the situation of Shanghai

"the survival of the fittest". Only

people who know their times can survive.

Right. Shanghai in some years ago

was the same as what you're imaging.

Properous, brriliant, wine, money,...

Just like a delicious piece of meat

that many people want to eat.

At the moment, Japanese also want to share

But don't worry.

The Japanese can't eat it now.

Because Shanghai

was original under the rule of

4 Axe Gang's ringleaders.

Dan Jia, Jie Zhang Zi,

Master Bai, Cheng Pou

4 people hold the power of this city.

But there's a happening this year.

That is the appearance of a person,

his name's Long Qi

Long Qi is the man who

make the big change of

situation in Shanghai

People who is walking on streets this time,

are ganster or someone

get bored with his life.

When Long Qi came to Shanghai,

he was even poorer than

us, had no influence

But now he has everything

How could he do that

That is thanks to his punch.

Using punch to usurp streets.

Before this cigarette is reduced to ashes,

if you can survive

I will permit you to continue to

be the owner of San Zhong Tian

This is the business of you and Long Qi

I just come to listen to music

If you want to fight, I can't stop

Pawn just retreat when it scare of death.

I was born in Shanghai,

there's no way to get back.

Therefore, we should enjoy this life

especially when you are living in Shanghai.

From now on, this restaurant belong to me

We won't call it San Zhong Tian anymore,

call it Qi Zhong Tian.

Any objection?

Any?

You also don't object, do you?

Jie Zhang Zi, why are you still here?

Great, do me a favour!

Inform this news.

Shanghai,

a half of it is mine

the rest is you three.

This street is our frontier,

the area near the sea is mine.

The rest belong to you three

and share it yourself.

Do you have any opinion?

Let's do that.

People say that you sing very well,

sing a song.

"Do you think about me?"

"Could you bring me with you

...if you said, you can't stay here?"

"The way back is so dark"

"I will be so worry if you travel alone"

"Maybe I'm not gaceful enough

to share your sadness"

"But if I don't say,

the reget will stay in my heart forever."

Brother Niu.

Is the old man that is lying on the floor,

Cheng Pou that you said?

I just want to tell you,

this is Shanghai

Everything could be changed in a twinkling.

The power of 4 ringleaders,

even can't not affect Long Qi

Is he Long Qi?

Yeah! Long Qi is that man.

See? He has noble appearance

Bulky legacy.

About feat,

noone in Shanghai can

suffer 10 punchs of him

Shanghai needs him.

He belongs to Shanghai.

Master Qi, congratulation!

Cheng Pou have trained 20

years his inner force,

but being crushed just

in seconds by Long Qi.

He died so quickly,

that's very lucky for him.

After that,

Yi Bei, Chu Dong belong to us.

The rest is him.

San Zhong Tian is now the frontier,

if we cross, he will fight.

Half of Shanghai is our

The rest is his part.

Where is our dignity?

Have to share a half of

income to the other.

Money of underworld flow

in to Long Qi's pocket.

Three of us fight Cheng Pou

in 3 years continously.

More than 100 people were dead.

He's still alive up til now.

Long Qi appear and kill that barstard.

Is that what we want?

You meant "fishing in trouble water".

But don't forget that,

Feeding this cruel dragon,

but you can't control him.

In some recent years, the

emergent young men is so many.

But they all finally died like dogs

Master Bai, do you think...

...that we will be like

Cheng Pou in somesday

You have to cut like this

If you can't, you better have your hand cut

We will wait until that

kid usurp more domains

Water it, fertilize it and we harvest

Is that happier?

Funny?

Get back!

Wait for me!

Brother Liu, I'm Guang.

Great drinking capacity.

Just like water.

Please trust me, Brother Liu

The man I introduce to you this time,

is not a normal man.

He has terrible power.

Morever, he can work instead of 3-4 people

just by himself.

Is there really that kind of

strong man in this world?

Yeah! My fellow, Ma Zhong Zhen.

1, 2, 3. Dangerous

One more person. Come! Come!

1, 2, 3.
