Description:
Ah Gui is a new immigrant, mentally slow and often discriminated against; in his few years in Hong Kong he has already been jailed several times. This time, after his release, his parents, fearing trouble, refuse to let him come home. Wandering the streets, Ah Gui runs into a drunken Boss Zhang, who treats him as a friend — though the friendship veers between warm and cold. Qiu-Lan went astray in her youth and was forced by the triads into prostitution. Ah Gui may be simple, but he knows how to sympathize with her, often helping look after her child and keep house. Show more Having forgotten his identity card, Ah Gui is about to be deported to the mainland when a journalist spots him and saves him just in time. Boss Zhang's finances are failing, and on meeting Ah Gui again he snatches back the gold tooth he once gave him; Ah Gui weeps bitterly. Qiu-Lan is forced to go abroad to work as a prostitute, and to save her Ah Gui robs a bank. A guard chases him up to the rooftop, and Ah Gui pushes him, sending him falling to his death. Just as his parents' fortunes improve and they are ready to let him move back home, Ah Gui is arrested and imprisoned once more.
