In fact, there is no character named A Fei in the whole article, so who is A Fei?
Most people think that Ah Fei is Xu Zai, but judging from the English name of the film, Days of being wild, it is about unknown little people and their stories in a corner of Hong Kong in that era.

Therefore, Ah Fei is Xu Zai, Ah Fei is also Chao Zai, and Ah Fei is still a nobody played by Tony Leung. They are all flying all the way, like rootless birds, wandering in life without purpose, and when they finally stop, it is the moment of death.

In the 1990s, Hong Kong was mixed with Chinese and foreigners, with gangsters, drug trafficking, smuggling, and sex trafficking. Even the police could change their boats overnight. It seems that everything is not so stable. In the turbulent era, the little people are not only forced to experience the shuffling of the big environment, but also have their own helplessness. Life is aimless, using the excuse of looking for his biological mother as an excuse, in fact, many times he is just Xu Zai, who is deceiving himself; Chao Zai, who is a policeman for his mother but is unhappy, in fact, a small person can only be a small person after all, he has no courage to accept himself, and he has no power to change. around. Those who eventually become heroes in Stephen Chow's films and are loved by everyone are just longings under nonsensical fantasies. Spit out a smoke ring, take a sip of spirits, and choose a bar at will under the flashing neon lights. And all this, no one else will know.
