Shan Yu, who worked hard for the boss, was arranged to investigate the boss's lover, Xixiu. Shanyu, who was moved by Xixiu, let Xixiu and her lover go, and was almost killed by the boss. After escaping, he avenged the entire gang.

Peeling back the shell of a fight, crime genre, this story is about a man who casts doubt on his past life after finding a new meaning in life. The film runs through the literary artistic conception of "not the wind, nor the tree, but the heart is moving". When the male protagonist arrives at the female protagonist's house for the first time, there are shadows of trees on the car window; the male protagonist also sees the shadows of leaves moving when the male protagonist watches the female protagonist play the piano.

The first scene in which the male protagonist appeared is very delicately portrayed. Before solving the troublesome fight scene, the male protagonist has a few small actions, eating cake, pointing to the fallen things to the waiter, eating things from the kitchen, and hiding from water droplets, creating a mentality of being numb and tired of the current life.

Because the subject matter of the film itself is very tense, several characters with a strong sense of joy are set up. The joy in the first half is adjusted by another careless gangster, Wen Xing, and the joy in the second half is by a group of Russians who sell guns.

There is a logical flaw in the story about Boss Bai. The direction of the story was carried out in the conflict with Boss Bai and Wen Xing, and then suddenly turned into the boss who was behind the scenes. In this way, the role of Boss Bai and others was weakened, and there was no further passage through Boss Bai and Wen Xing. The secret cooperation is compared to the male protagonist to shape the male protagonist to do his best for the organization.

  • Sun-woo: One late autumn night, the disciple awoke crying. So the master asked the disciple, "Did you have a nightmare?" "No." "Did you have a sad dream?" "No," said the disciple. "I had a sweet dream." "Then why are you crying so sadly?" The disciple wiped his tears away and quietly answered, "Because the dream I had can't come true."

  • Sun-woo: A disciple asked his master, "Do the leaves flow or is it the wind?" His master replied, "No, it is the heart and the mind."
