The pilot's story is set in San Francisco's Chinatown after the American Civil War.
The hero, Ah Sahm, took a boat from Foshan, Guangdong, China to San Francisco on the far west coast of the United States.
As soon as they arrived at the port, they saw a smuggler who came to pick them up and arrange work for them. The smuggler's name was Wang Zhou, a Chinese with a clear distinction. He came to recruit people for his boss, Liu Ting. The Chinese were obviously ostracized by the Americans, and the protests from the Americans at the docks came one after another.
The white policeman deliberately troubled a Chinese man, insulted him verbally, and knocked over his food. Ah Shan couldn't stand it any longer, so he took action. He overturned three white policemen with superb martial arts fighting skills. .
This move attracted the attention of the snake-headed Wang Zhou. Through communication, Wang Zhou recommended A Shan to the local gang boss Zun Ye. Zun Ye is one of the most powerful local Chinese gangs, the boss of the Hewei Gang, he has 25,000 people, the gang battle is about to start, Zun Ye is just in the process of hiring people. bought him.
Lord Zun assigned him to his son Xiao Zun as his subordinate. Xiao Zun is very humorous, takes good care of him, and talks a lot about Hewei and himself. Xiao Zun took Ah Shan to a brothel at night, and claimed that he could find a lot of good smuggled Chinese girls at the person he designated. The designated person was called Ya Cai, a prostitute of a brothel.
A Shan looked at the girl Ya Cai chose for him, and said that he actually wanted to find a girl named Xiao Jing. Not long after, the thugs of another powerful Chinese gang, Long Zhi, came over. Because of Xiao Jing's incident, they were going to hit Xiao Zun and Ah Shan hard, but they were beaten down by Ah Shan.
Asan learned from the prostitute Yacai that he was not the first person to look for Xiaojing, the information breakthrough was at the Longzhi Gang, so Ashan found the house of the boss of Longzhi on a rainy night, and went with Longzhi. Zhi's master Li Yong fought and was evenly matched.
At a tense moment, the eldest's wife appeared and stopped the fight. Ah Shan found out that the eldest's wife, Mai Ling, was his younger sister, Xiao Jing, whom he had been looking for for two years. After experiencing the abandonment of her brother and the rape and humiliation of her ex-husband, Xiaojing fled to the United States and slowly gained respect. A Shan felt heartache and blamed herself, and left sadly.
After Ah Shan left, she found Ya Cai and told her what was in her heart. The two fell in love with each other, and couldn't help applauding for love.
After the incident, Yacai secretly killed white people, intending to provoke conflicts between the government and gangs. The two gangs, Hewei and Longzhi, also hated each other because of the Xiaozun incident. Longzhi violated the rules first. Hewei sent Xiaozun and Ashan to warn Longzhi and burned a small amount of their goods.
Undercurrents are surging between Chinese gangs, and the competition for the opium business intensifies. The control and murder incidents in the Chinese area have also caused the US government to be in a hurry. The mayor is busy to appease people's hearts, and the top police officers are busy solving the case.
The mayor's wife took the Chinese servants out. The two white ruffians first satirized the Chinese servants, and then molested the mayor's wife. They were seen by Ah Shan who happened to pass by, and Ah Shan acted bravely and fought against the white hooligans in the white neighborhood. Coincidentally, a white police detective from the South passed by, mistook Ah Shan for a thug, and arrested him and put him in jail.
Because of the attack on white people in the white area, Ashan was found to be in prison regardless of right or wrong. The mayor's wife also failed to help him exonerate. It just so happened that the murder of the white man needed a scapegoat, and the gang disputes in the Chinese area also needed to be cooled down. Neither Hewei nor the police wanted to help him.
The gang, the smugglers, and the white court all gave the final verdict on Ashan, who was sentenced to jail. At this time, the murders of white people in the Chinese neighborhood were still going on, and Long Zhi also secretly murdered the white people.
After communicating with the gangster leader, the detective decided to secretly kill and torture Ah Shan in prison, so that Ah Shan could take all the charges. He imprisoned the three killers and Ashan, but Ashan knocked them all down.
On the other hand, Ah Shan's younger sister, Xiao Jing, after knowing what happened to her brother, assisted Ah Shan from behind through Long Zhi's relationship, and finally Ah Shan was released in court. After Ashan was released, he was punished by the boss because it violated the gang rules for hurting white people in the white area, and he also established a gang status.
Ah Shan and the mayor's wife had many exchanges during the period. Ah Shan went to the mayor's wife's house and asked her why she didn't help him. The mayor's wife expressed her helplessness and was also attracted by the confident Ah Shan. The mayor's wife invited Asan to her studio alone, and she didn't know what to do...()
The show is set in: San Francisco in 1878
In 1849, with the gold rush in the United States, a large number of Chinese began to pour into the United States. Due to the large-scale gold mining, the gold reserves shrank and the competition for gold rush intensified. Nativist groups began to claim that the gold in California was American, and then Started physical abuse of foreign gold prospectors. After being forcibly evicted from the gold mines, the Chinese moved to other cities for wage labor and servanthood, chiefly San Francisco. Due to the passing of a series of bills, the Chinese have suffered severe unequal treatment in the United States, and even tortured and killed.
Rock Spring Massacre
In the 1880s, when the U.S. economy entered a recession, a large number of white American workers turned their anger on Chinese workers. The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by the U.S. Congress in May 1882. In August 1885, a leaflet was distributed in the Wyoming Territory, asking the Chinese to leave the area by September 1. At 7:00 a.m. on September 2, 10 white miners besieged and beat the Chinese workers inside the Union Pacific Coal Mining Company. Two Chinese workers were seriously injured and one of them died on the spot. At 2 p.m., about 150 white miners armed with Winchester rifles broke into Chinatown in Rock Spring. They ordered the Chinese here to pack up and leave the city within an hour. After 30 minutes, the first shot of the massacre rang out, and the Chinese worker Luo Sunqi fell to the ground. Then, two Chinese workers were also killed. The terrified Chinese fled aimlessly. At the same time, the actions of the gangsters have not been condemned, but have been widely recognized. Some thugs just looted property, and some thugs beat the Chinese with gun butts after looting. For the Chinese they couldn't catch up with, they shot from behind, killed them, and plundered their belongings from the corpses. By 9 p.m., the entire Chinatown was in flames. 79 Chinese houses were burned down, and the direct economic loss amounted to 147,000 yuan (estimated at the time). Afterwards, 28 Chinese died and at least 15 were injured. However, according to various on-site evidence, it is generally believed that the actual death toll should be 40 to 50 people.
The Rock Spring massacre became the fuse of the Seattle Chinese Exclusion Riot, and the time point of this play happened to be in the early days of the intensification of conflicts between whites and Chinese in the United States, and it was shown in the play.
The creation of such a script has a background of the times. Bruce Lee, as the first Chinese kung fu superstar to enter the American circle, has given the Chinese a new look on the international stage. Each of his works emphasizes self-improvement and patriotic self-confidence. In his starring films, he does not shy away from the language defects of the image he represents, and his lack of experience, but he does not hide it. Chinese people estimate the spirit of unyielding, repaying grievances with virtue, and being humble and tolerant.
Such a manuscript script has a huge creative space. It is a pity that he died young, and he did not see his self-directed, self-acted and follow-up remakes. Fortunately, through the directing of the screenwriter and Chinese director of "Black Eat Black", this drama has not concealed the sinister times and the complexity of human nature.
(According to the setting of the times and the occurrence of events, I make a bold prediction. If there are more seasons to follow, the protagonist will eventually die)
