Synopsis: Ah Hua (played by Andy Lau) and Ah You (played by Jacky Cheung) are two gangster thugs who are mixed in Mong Kok, the two are brothers and sisters, of which Ah Hua has been involved in the underworld since he was young, so now he has begun to get tired of the life of deceit and killing in the rivers and lakes.
And his friend AYou has just debuted, so he has been looking forward to one day sitting on the throne of the helper. However, because Ah Hua has been silently protecting Ah You in all aspects, although Ah You has not had an accident, it has also caused Ah You to behave unremarkably and has no chance to come forward.
One day, Ah Hua's cousin Ayu (played by Maggie Cheung) came from the countryside to the city for treatment and temporarily lived in Ah Hua's home, the two were originally green plum bamboo horses, so when they met again, they were in love. At this time, Ah Hua also has to take care of Ah You, who is bedridden at home due to injury, which also causes Ah Hua to have no time for further development of his relationship with Ah Yu.
A few days later, Ayu returned to Lantau Island after completing her treatment, because the relationship between the two did not develop further, which caused Ah Hua to be annoyed. As a result, he disregarded his gangster identity and went to the countryside to prepare to confess to Ayu, and then who could have imagined that at this time, in order to be able to get ahead and make a name for himself, He actually went alone to take over the "killer order" that was almost equivalent to suicide. When he learned the news, Ah Hua bid farewell to Ah Yu overnight to stop Ah You.
At the entrance of the police station, Ah You was ready to shoot at the target of the "Killer Order", but Ah You only hit one shot, and then he was besieged and killed by the police. When Ah Hua hurried to arrive, he saw Ah You lying on the ground, and without hesitation, he pulled out a gun and killed the target person, but he was also killed by the police on the spot.
To this day, the story of the little character AYou has long been forgotten, but because of the screenshot of the classic clip in the movie, A-You will always circulate on the Internet.
