Because I'm poor.

People say that there are alot

of opportunities in Shanghai.

So I come here for opportunities.

Ma Zhong Zhen, you shouldn't think so.

You live in a place just like

a hole, how could you suffer that?

People with kungfu,

if you don't join with them

you'll be a thorn in their sides,

do you know that?

So cooperate with me.

I want to defeat 3 old man of Axe Gang.

Kick Japanese ass.

There are some people need to be beaten.

No, no.

I won't enter underworld.

But you don't need to care about me.

We are good brothers until die.

Why do you wear that gem bangle?

One punch of mine can kill a cow.

So my mother give me this bangle.

Killing cow provides you no benefit.

Do you know how many people that I killed?

Every old man I see, I kill immediately.

Do you know how old Cheng Pou is?

He's even older than my father.

You killed people, but have

you ever killed a cow?

Of course!

I eat beefsteak every day.

I killed them myself.

So does my tiger.

What time now?

Why do you get home so late?

Is that me?

Scoundrel!

"I think that I'm not

tender gentle enough...

to share your sadness"

"If I don't say,

the reget will stay in my heart forever."

"Leave me alone with the painful."

"You just go away with your beauty."

"Do you think about me?"

"Do you?"

I want to see you at the lake.

Don't get home too late.

What're you looking at?

Hey, this's very delicious.

Delicious?

Yeah. But what's this?

- Hot dog.

- What? So mucky and merciless!

Listen to me,

in 1904, there's an emigrant

from German to USA...

Ok. Who told you these things?

Long Qi.

Long Qi? He fights all days.

It's not fighting. It's

putting into practice.

He's a trustful man.

What? What's putting into practice?

You two just want to use punch.

There're some people need to be beaten.

What're you saying?

Hey, don't fight anymore, ok?

My father don't want

people who always fight.

Could you give me a kiss?

Scoundrel!

What's in your mind?

I promised Mr. Hashimoto that

I'll sing in the yearly celebration

of Japan Commercial Partnership.

Are you scare of them?

I'm just a normal singer.

Have no stuff.

My voice is more valuable than my life.

I can sing some songs to keep this life,

that's so lucky for me.

With me, you don't need to scare of anyone.

Why do you raise the tiger in your house?

Because I'm also a wild beast.

You used to be wild beast.

Because the nature of a wild beast

can predict the danger.

However, when you meet Ma Zhong Zhen,

you are gradually becoming a human.

Why I have a feeling that

staying with you is not secure anymore.

I want to be your woman forever.

But you can not

always the king of Shanghai

Or, could we leave Shanghai together?

I'm the head of Japan

Commercial Partnership.

Hashimoto Koichi, this my pleasure.

Head of Japan Commercial Partnership,

are you secret agent?

You come here for war or business?

We very appreciate Chinese culture.

Of course I hope we can

cooperate for business.

So what you can't deal

you will rob, right?

If you want to say about robbing,

you, Long Qi

has robbed our Dong Yang tea packs.

If those packs are actually tea,

it's normal to present it to us.

That's opium, alot of money.

Why did you burn it?

I also don't know why.

That's just a great felling.

Like Japanese massacred

Chinese in Dong Bei.

Brother Long Qi, that's war.

Every war has death.

That's not war, that's invade.

Brother Long Qi, we very appreciate you.

I hope we can cooperate

honestly and friendly.

Cooperating with Japanese

is understanding what they say.

Appreciate me,

want to cooperate

Could I translate that...

I have great influence

Give me some benefits, and

I'll become your lackey

Don't think that Chinese

are "Dong A yi yuan"

Please get out!

Brother Long Qi, if you

said these words to me

You just have one conclusion.

By the way,

Sheng Xiang Jun won't sing

at the yearly celebration

of your commercial partnership.

Because that day is

100 days celebration of Qi Shang Tian.

Very sorry.

Long Qi thinks that he's

the king of Shanghai.

He almost become king.

So who is the king of Shanghai?

People here are friends.

So we have one enemy in common.

We should cooperate.

Cooperate what?

Extirpating Long Qi.

Find Ma Zhong Zhen, he will be useful.

I found him long time

ago, in Yi Bei with Bing.

I know this day will come,

get on the car with me.

Brother Bing, are your living ok?

It could be better.

So it's currently not good.

So you want to rebuit your career?

I didn't mean it.

Ma Zhong Zhen in Yi Bei

robbed our goods.

He even cooperate with Long Qi.

That's so clear.

I just use kungfu to do the business.

Not dealing with you.

Brother Bing.

You have a subordinate like Ma Zhong Zhen,

is so great a thing.

More than that, he has good

relationship with Long Qi.

He has no relation with Long Qi,

just a worker for him.

Brother Bing, I'll tell you,

we want he help us to defeat Long Qi.

The rest is the business of us and Ma.

Chinese have an idiom:

"The one knows his time is truly hero"

The influence of Japanese in Shanghai,

is very terrible.

Cooperating with them

bring us many benefits.

What do you think, Ma Zhong Zhen?

You cooperated with Japanese

to invade mother land,

Betraying mother land for

your personal benefit.

Help you to work, I'm a lackey.

Cooperating with you, I'm also lackey.

I'm not that kind of people

Do you know that if you say so,

many people will be involved?

Your way is threaten the

life of a person's family.

But I'm alone.

I don't scare of you.

So this's just your problem?

His problem is also my problem.

Master Bing, we have appreciated you alot.

Don't think that you're

still our Big brother.

After your wife's death.

You never show your face.

Now you're so obscure.

Sacrifice your life to this guy.

Ma Zhong Zhen is my son in law.

He is intended of my youngest child.

This time he come here for marriage.

He will leave Shanghai,

on the last train tomorrow.

He'll never relate to anything

of your criminal world.

I have profanced you,

I apologize.

Please forgive this guy.

That meant he will

never come here, right?

I warrant that he'll

never relate to anything like this.

Master Bing, why do we

have to scare of them?

Now this's not just your own matter.

You have to leave Shanghai now.

What problem?

Brother Long, please sign.

Hurry up, collect your luggage.

What happen?

Long Qi.

Long Qi.

Destroy his place.

Father... sister...

Father...

Father...

Father...

It's a waste of money that Mr.

Hashimito give you.

Right. I regret.

Why?

You'll never understand that.

Long Qi.

You should leave Shanghai,

have a better life.

Long Qi

Long Qi

Long Qi

Long Qi

Long Qi

Long Qi

Long Qi.

In the next incarnation,

we'll be brothers again.

Long Qi.

Long Qi, I very appreciate you.

I scare of being a normal man.

Have to live under the rules

of European and Japanese.

Long Qi.

Master Bing.
