Synopsis:
The story takes place in Hong Kong in the 1960s, when Hong Kong was still under British rule, with collusion between police and bandits and black and white.
A newly ascended Chinese inspector, Leiluo, was ambitious and bent on establishing a new order in black and white so that he could accumulate wealth. At the same time, Ah Hao smuggled a few of his fellow brothers from the mainland to Hong Kong and lived in the Kowloon Walled City, working odd jobs to make ends meet.
During a gang fight, Leiluo saw that Ahao dared to fight and kill, and wanted to keep it for his own use, so he saved him from the British police superintendent. Later, Leiluo was trapped in the Kowloon City Walled City, and Ah Hao also saved Leiluo's life in order to repay the favor, but he was broken by a leg and became a "lame Hao" ever since.
After that, Leiluo became the chief inspector of the general Hua, covering the sky in the police force, and Ahao also used Leiluo's help to dominate the underworld. As the story progresses, the two Brothers Relo and Ahao gradually have a disagreement...
The Mystery says:
The screenplay of this film was born out of "Lame Hao" and "The Biography of Inspector Leiluo", but it gave a new plot, and the director hoped to depict the story of Leiluo and Lame Hao through a film, focusing on brotherhood. As a commercial entertainment blockbuster, decent, Zhen Zidan played by the lame hao full of aura, Andy Lau many years later to play Leiluo is still at ease.

In 1949, the hot-blooded young Raylo applied to the police in order to earn money to eat. At that time in Hong Kong, the treatment of the police was not high, and it was not an unwritten rule for the police to collect protection fees. Leiluo, a new member of the police force, is a man of integrity and does not want to be in the same veins as others, so he is ostracized, but he also gets acquainted with the old Detective Inspector Chen Tong.
Leiluo and the grocery store owner's daughter Ah Xia are in love, but Ah Xia's parents see that Leiluo is a poor policeman and try their best to obstruct it. Leiluo borrowed wine to pour sorrow, drunkenly went to the casino to make trouble, and then got the help of Inspector Chen Tong, raised a dowry of 50,000 yuan, and prepared to go to the kiss.
Unfortunately, disaster fell from the sky, and a fire broke out in the Village of Dongtou in Kowloon, ruining Leiluo's dream. The Leiluo family escaped by chance, but Ah Xia's family was buried in the sea of fire, and Ah Xia herself was uncertain of life and death, and there was no news.

After becoming inspector general, Relo reformulated the system of charging protection fees to the police in the district, reducing conflicts from all walks of life, and gaining the weight of the high level of the police force. At this moment, a person appeared in front of Leiluo...
Leiluo's archetypal character is the famous Inspector General of Hong Kong, Lu Le, who in the 60s crisscrossed black and white, with only one hand covering the sky and a beautiful scenery.
This film is a classic work with an epic temperament. As a Hong Kong policeman, Leiluo's process of changing from a gengzhi youth to a generation of tyrants reflects the social problems of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s.
Andy Lau's performance in this film is remarkable, playing the role span of 50 to 60 years, personally believe that this film is one of Liu Tianwang's best films. In addition, the "lard boy" played by Wu Mengda is also very stealing. There are 2 films in total, and the second part will be introduced soon. ^_^
