A defiant underworld figure who “cannot be bent, not even by the Kung‑Fu killers” drives the story, positioned as a spiritual follow‑up to Boxer From Shantung. Set twenty years later in the same Shanghai district, it follows a lesser gangster’s ascent and inevitable downfall, echoing the earlier film’s tragic arc while introducing new characters and a fresh narrative about loyalty, betrayal and the ruthless streets of 1930s Shanghai.
