Storyline & Synopsis
With the support of the head of the Police Authority, Guangzhou’s top
villain Ho Kei-Kin (Dayo Wong) has been riding roughshod over everyone
around him. He is so manipulative that he has explored every possible
means in his fight for a house with the buck-toothed owner Ling Yuk Tsui
(Cecilia
Yip).However, he was originally a kind-hearted person. His change of heart
was due to him being mistreated by his father back when he was a child.
His father once nailed him inside the coffin, which led to his fear of
being trapped in the dark. When he grew up, his father left the town
with one of his many mistresses and her son. When Kin went to confront
his father, the father retorts and says that Kin wasn't really his
biological son, saying that some stranger is his father. His father also
said that he glad to have a son who is more skilled than him and that
Kin is nothing but a weakling to him. After that, he left by boat. Angry
by this, Kin cursed at his father, his mistress and their son, saying
that they won't live to regret this. When he tried to redeem himself by
fighting the town's crime lord, he was defeated by not only the crime
lord but also the townspeople. Fed up with the town, he causes chaos to
the town by wrecking and burning some stalls. As the crime lord and the
townspeople were about to subdue him, one of his henchman told him that
the boat that carried Kin's father exploded and that everyone on that
boat died, including his father, his mistress and his son. Kin said that
he was happy that happened because they had insulted him and that his
prophecy of them not living to regret it had come true. He also declares
that he won't go by his given name. He will only go by the nickname Gan
Yan-Kin (Bully Kin). He decided that to get through life, he must treat
others really badly as they have treated him.
Tsui is happy to have met the upright and honorable Wong Fei-Hung (Dominic
Lam). Interested in stirring up trouble, Kin tries to recruit more
students for his kung-fu school by portraying himself as the hero who
has defeated one of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong Wong Kei-Ying. For the
sake of fairness, Hung is resolved to have a contest with Kin.
Unfortunately, Kin manages to make Hung give in with the help of the
ancestral tablet of his late father. Thinking that he is a hopeless
coward, Tsui decides to break off her engagement to Hung. Kin quickly
grabs the chance and begins to woo Tsui. Tsui agrees to transfer her
house to Kin after much persuasion from him. Kin shows his true colors
as soon as he has secured the property. Tsui is left homeless and has to
put up at Po Chi Lam, the martial arts club/medicine shop set up
by Hung. Kin has lost his power and soon becomes an object of contempt
and hatred. With nowhere else to go, he decides to turn to Hung and asks
to be his apprentice. Hung has tried his best to bring out the human
side of Kin, for which he has received a lot of criticism from others.
Despite Hung’s support, Kin does not repent and behaves even worse than
before, leaving Po Chi Lam in a state of total chaos…
Kin's plan was unveiled when Wong Fei Hung tried to win the 3rd lion
dancing competition, where Wong Fei Hung realized he had drank the soup
with five stone powder (a form of ancient narcotic) added by Kin. Kin
offered the choice of soup or lose the competition. Wong Fei Hung won
the contest without the soup, but Wong did not tell others about the
incident. Disillusioned by Wong's unusual integrity, Kin decided to live
up to Wong Fei Hung's reputation. After the arrests of gang leader Chiu Man Ting and officer Fong Tin
Yuen, Wong Fei Hung began to lose his vision as a result of the drugs.
Wong Fei Hung appointed Kin to run Po Chi Lam, despite objections
by others. Despite Kin's attempts to help his fellow fighters, they
ended up making things worse. Former associate Kam Chin-Pao mistaken
believed Kin became Po Chi Lam leader was a plan to take over the
street as gang leader, so Kam Chin-Pao started started a gang of his
own...
