I lost my job.

What will happen to me?

How can I feed my family of six?

You have done nothing.

Do you want me to pull a knife on him?

I know how you feel

but it's no use to be reckless.

Please calm down!

H Ow?

Let's call a general strike!

Show the bosses we mean business!

Then there'll be no way back!

You're such a wimp!

No, he just wants to save his own ass.

Your boss gave you lucky money.

That was for the New Year.

Everybody got it!

Be reasonable!

But Leung Sheung had a big one!

What are you hinting at? Don't slander me.

How do you know I got more than others?

It goes without saying!

Listen to me!

A strike is effective.

You read the newspapers.

The bus drivers got what they wanted.

But the head of the tram union was deported.

So? Are you scared?

Your move!

Master!

Whose side are you on?

Everyone chipped in for the gift.

Stop yelling!

You'll cost us our jobs!

Mind your tongue!

Speak your mind but

don't yell at the ladies.

Stop pointing!

I've been more than reasonable!

She started it!

Just whose side are you on?

Can't you tell how much

I have done for you?

For me?

My family hasn't eaten in three days!

They're starving.

And you, you're a turncoat...

What? You want to pick a fight?

Don't... Let's talk...

Well? You want to fight?

Let me...

Sing, let go of him!

Listen to me!

If you don't stick together,

how can you stand up for yourselves?

Sing, are you mad at me?

I was thinking, Hong Kong isn't any better.

Maybe it's time to go back to Foshan.

Stop!

Don't let him work!

Strike!

We want a pay rise!

Strike!

Strike!

We demand a pay rise!

Strike!

Pay rise! Pay rise!

Strike!

Break them up!

Break them up!

Yes, Sir!

Are you okay, Sir?

Go, go!

Let go of me!

She's done this before. But this time...

she beat up a gweilo!

I'm Chinese and only a constable,

I've done everything I could.

I hope you'll understand.

When was the last time you attended class?

I have been very busy.

The workers are striking during the day,

and meeting illegally at night.

I take English lessons on Saturdays,

and target practice on Sundays.

Passing the review board,

is very important to me.

A turtle jelly, please!

Sure!

Master!

Does Mrs. lp feel at home here?

That's good!

Did Lee King really beat up the gweilo?

Not personally,

but she was with the mob.

No sugar?

Next time I'll teach you "Sticking Hands".

The gun you use is foreign,

but your fists are your own.

You can point your gun at anyone,

but never use fists against your own kind.

My treat.

It can help you think clearly.

Sir!

I want to release the girl Lee King.

Lee King?

Lee King? Are you serious?

She hit my head!

Sorry, Sir!

Sorry, Sir!

Sorry, Sir!

Sorry!

Lee King, you may go!

First you arrested me, now you let me go.

I'm not sure if I should thank you.

Violence is not the only option.

I only know that you work for running dogs.

Running dogs?

Is Tang Sing coming?

I've told him about

our farewell dinner for Mrs. lp.

What did he say?

He said...

Never mind, he knows about it.

You're setting a huge table.

Master has invited

an old friend and his family.

It was destiny...

Have some tea, Mrs. Lee.

It's fate...

that we ran into each other!

Have some tea, Mr. Lee

Thank you!

You don't have to be so courteous,

I'm no longer a boss.

I've prepared your favorite rice wine.

Let's have a toast...

Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. lp.

Don't mention it.

Good girl!

Times are different now.

Everyone is having a hard time.

It's good to see old friends from home.

Thank you for looking after

us during the War.

That was nothing!

Let me toast you!

Cheers! Have some tea!

Mrs. lp!

When will you come back from Foshan?

Not until Chun is on holiday.

Chun is now in college.

Congratulations!

The chicken is ready...

Let's dig in!

Let's eat!

The best behaved gets the drumstick!

I bet it's you.

Here's a drumstick for you.

Say thank you.

We don't want drumsticks.

Leave it for our baby brother.

Very well!

Speaking of him...

Where is the baby, Mrs. Lee?

Mom...

I didn't eat any drumstick.

Please don't sell us!

Don't sell me, Mom!

You still don't get it, do you?

Baby brother was sold not

because he ate drumsticks.

Mom sold him for money to feed us.

It wasn't my idea,

it was your Dad's.

I'm so sorry...

Mrs. Lee!

Mom...

I can't feed a family of eight,

I had to sell one

to feed the others.

Shame on me!

If one can't even make ends meet,

what good is kung-fu to him?

I can't even help a friend in need.

Keep your papers safe.

Sure!

Take as much as you can,

Chun needs them for school.

You're not taking this?

No, I'll do the buttons

and pockets when I return.

That was the last time I saw Mrs. lp.

Because on New Year's Day in 1950

border restrictions were suddenly enforced.

Mrs. lp was not allowed to

return to Hong Kong.

Master didn't seem

to mind living alone, though.

He carried on as usual,

but I have often seen him lost in solitude.

Barbecued pork buns!

Radish cake!

Barbecued pork buns!

Coming...

The latest issue! Put it away!

I'm on duty! Want anything?

Barbecued pork buns.

Barbecued pork buns.

Tea please!

Remember... do it slowly.

Don't rush... get it?

Yes!

What are you staring at? Stay focused!

Right!

Brother Sing!

Please watch out for us.

Take good care of Brother Sing for me!

Brother Sing!

It's warm in here,

take off your cap.

I'm fine.

Cheers!

Take it off!

He's bald!

He looks funny!

Please give it back!

I have to go.

These girls are impudent!

Don't be upset, please come again!

This is for you!

Thank you, Sir!

It was said no half decent man

would want to be a cop,

who was no more than

a thug dressed in uniform.

And those gweilos stuck

their noses in everything,

except the Walled City,

which was rife with criminal activities.

Even the police were reluctant to go inside.

Ordinary citizens only

go to nearby streets

for cheap dental work.

Who calls the shots there?

Have a seat over there, Master!

A local tyrant, no less!

There's a gang boss in the Walled City

known as Dragon.

Legend has it that, on a stormy day,

he came out of nowhere,

stood in the courtyard,

raised a flag and shouted three times.

Since then,

armed with an icepick,

and his powerful kicks,

he challenged every gang inside the City,

and fought his way to the top.

From now on, the Walled City is mine!

He ends up controlling

everything inside the Walled City.

Does Dragon really exist?

Of course! He's the local despot!

We seldom see Tang Sing after his promotion.

PC1759

Yes!

But he would send money

every now and then.

Please give this to Master lp.

Yes, Sir!

Saying it's his tuition fee.

The others chipped in financially,

and took turns looking after Master.

Master!

Time for your medication.

Be careful, it's hot!

Yeung Siu-tong!

In 1953,

I lost the union election.

Leung Sheung!

Auyeung Chi-ming is elected!

It's their loss for electing someone else.
