Di Qiu is one of the most miserable big brothers in the Kowloon Walled City.
In the movie, Di Qiu, played by Ren Xianqi, is known as a "white-haired debt collector", with a distinct image and characteristics. However, in the movie, he is indeed a man full of tragedy, but also a man of great depth and complexity.
Behind Di Qiu is heavy hatred and endless pain. His life seemed to be consumed by a flame of vengeance, which burned in his heart from youth to twilight and never went out.
When he was young, Di Qiu experienced the great grief of his wife and children being killed by Chen Zhan, played by Aaron Kwok, and he was also locked in a dog cage and could not save them, this helplessness and despair are unimaginable to ordinary people. This experience was deeply imprinted in his heart and became a pain that he could not let go of for the rest of his life.
His henchmen and brothers also hold a grudge against Chen Zhan, and their common goal is to find Chen Zhan's son to take revenge.
Aaron Kwok plays Chen Zhan in the movie, nicknamed "The King of Murder", Chen Zhan's battle with the tornado is like a storm, and the fight is inseparable, and Chen Zhan is Chen Luojun's father.
And Tornado, as Di Qiu's friend, he was involved in this feud. He tries to find a balance between the two, hoping that Di Qiu can let go of his hatred and start a new life.
But the fire of hatred in Di Qiu's heart burned brighter and stronger, and he was determined to make Chen Zhan's bloodline pay the price.
In the end, Di Qiu entrusted the big boss to come to the door and carry out a bloody baptism of the walled city. In this chaos, Tornado died heroically in order to protect Chen Luojun and his brothers.
Since then, revenge has become the only driving force in Di Qiu's life, and he has spent his whole life looking for Chen Zhan, hoping to avenge his family.
However, fate does not seem to favor him. Although Di Qiu still insisted on revenge in his later years, life became more and more cruel to him. His house was bought by the big boss at a low price, and in the face of this unfair treatment, he chose to rebel. But unfortunately, he was once again attacked by Wang Jiu, knocked unconscious by a hammer, and was put in a dog cage again. The repetition of this circumstance makes people feel sad for his fate. This repetition of the mistakes of the past is undoubtedly a satire and mockery of his life.
Dick lived his life for revenge, but this revenge did not bring him any substantial comfort or relief. On the contrary, it cost him more, including his family, his freedom, and even his dignity. His story is deeply regrettable and sympathetic, but also provokes deep reflections on fate, justice, and humanity.
Ren Xianqi successfully portrayed the complex and profound role of Di Qiu in the movie. He used superb acting skills to perfectly show Di Qiu's inner contradictions. People can deeply feel his pain and helplessness. Dick's story is not just a story of revenge, but a story of fate, struggle, and tragedy.
