If someone prefers love over solidarity then that person will regret it for life, even so with the script whose idea is even the ending is already in my head. The story is set in a slum suburb in Guangdong, 3 friends, namely Fai Fan, a porter of goods, Lei Changyi, an educated student, and Chyou Ho, a young man who is a little older than them and has always protected them both, since he was a child, orphaned Fai was cared by Ho's family, but because Fai felt he did not want to be indebted, he also worked there at the same time, as a rice porter transporting , the rice he transported were usually heavy, because since childhood Fai was strong and was considered a champion in his village. Ho himself at first not very familiar with Fai, although everyday Fai is fed at the workshop which is also a shelter for the Ho family who although wealthy but prefer to live in a dilapidated repair shop, Lei himself is a close friend who is considered Ho's younger brother, at all costs. Lei's school was financed by the Ho family, so he became a literary scholar.

Because almost every day Fai is in the workshop, so inevitably he always meets Lei, that's where the friendship begins between Ho, Fai and also Lei, the older Ho used to cuddle and mediate problems when Lei and Fai fight, until one day Ho Girlfriend from Shanghai came, she was Cang Jiao, a beautiful girl who had a dark history of killing because she needed to eat, Cang herself became a fugitive and in fact if she was caught she would be sentenced to death, Cang's real name is Jun Li Mei, and her place of origin is Anhui but managed to sneak by faking his identity and finally settled in Shanghai, until finally he could study art, one major with Ho, that's where they started to close and finally officially dating.

Cang's arrival at the workshop makes Fai fall in love, so does Lei, but they still cover it up, even though they know each other that they are after Chang, Lei then chooses to compete properly, he also talks about it with Ho, but as a result Lei instead beaten by Ho, because he is deemed to want to take Chang, seeing that gap, Fai then tries to get Chang in dirty ways, he infuriates Ho when they both play gambling, Fai teases Ho that he and Lei bet who can fuck Chang first Previously would get 1000 yuan, which was the result of stealing Ho's mother's jade, at first Ho intended to beat Fai because he talked about it, but then Fai argued that the one who had the idea was Lei and Lei was the one who robbed Ho mother, not him. Fai argued that everything he said was what Lei said.

Fueled by revenge and not thinking about Fai's slander, Ho went to hunt Lei. Lei, who actually didn't know anything was tortured and locked up for several days, then because the residents felt sorry for Lei, finally with the protection of the residents of Lei he was entrusted to the residents' homes, randomly. Suddenly arrived after the incident began to subside Chang admitted that she was pregnant and she didn't know who the father of the child was because she had been making love with many men. Ho became furious, he hunted and killed all the men who were considered close to Chang then committed suicide because he knew the punishment of a murderer was death. He did not want someone else to finish him off so Ho chose to kill himself.

Fai, who was stalking Ho then erased Ho's fingerprints and threw away the evidence and put Lei's handkerchief at the scene so that everyone thought that the perpetrator of Ho's murder and the people Ho actually killed was Lei, especially when Lei was tortured and locked up by Ho. This was also considered by the police as Lei's motive to kill Ho, especially the people Ho actually killed, whose fingerprints had been removed by Fai had a bad history with Lei, Lei was arrested, sentenced to death, but Lei himself had to wait for more than 30 years to meet his end. But everything must be rewarded, Chang turned out to love Lei and he told Fai his true identity. Fai was feel sorry not because what he had done so far was in vain but rather that he had destroying solidarity for the sake of blind love. After telling everything Chang also committed suicide by hanging herself in her room. Fai regretted even more, especially Fai who has a cowardly nature can actually tell the police the truth that Lei was not the perpetrator of Ho's murder who actually committed suicide and the other victims Ho actually killed. Fai felt regret especially right in front of Lei pleading to Fai, begging that Fai knew something, to the point that Lei sobbed even when he was about to be executed, but because of his cowardice and fear of being considered a slanderer, Fai chose to turn his face away until finally the only thing that was most valuable from Fai's life was executed in front of Fai's own eyes. Fai also felt very sorry, he intended to hang himself but because of cowardice he failed many times to do it and regret still lingered on Fai's heart until Fai was very old. Until the end of the film he felt afraid to commit suicide. The feelings of regret and fear of suicide that Fai considered as redemption that he couldn't do made him regret it for life.
