The Chinese migrant communities in Tokyo live shadowy lives. The Japanese neither acknowledge nor welcome them. They are shunned by the mainstream society, hounded by the yakuza, and go about their days under fear of being discovered and repatriated.

It is an alien world for Steelhead, an honest, hardworking tractor repairman from Heilongjian in northern China. Steelhead had decided to take the perilous journey to Tokyo after he lost contact with his girlfriend, who had arrived in the city earlier.

Trying to exist in the underbelly of Tokyo long enough to find Xiu Xiu, Steelhead has come to realize the migrants had to stand united if they wanted to go about their lives without fear of oppression by not only the Japanese underworld but also Chinese gangs.

In his search of a decent living, Steelhead unwittingly finds himself pit against the Japanese yakuza. Ironically he also discovers that Xiu Xiu has adopted a Japanese identity and married Eguchi, an ambitious up and coming yakuza chief.

Steelhead wins the respect of his friends by establishing a base for them and forms an uneasy alliance with Eguchi. When he helps Eguchi dispose of a rival, he is given the control of Shinjukus night establishments. But, uninterested in living a gangsters life, Steelhead finds a new love and takes the chance to start a tractor repair business outside Tokyo. However, his peace is shortlived when word gets to him that his former compatriots were now being used by Eguchi to front the yakuzas drug business.

Steelhead feels responsible for this turn of events and feels obligated to bring Eguchi down. He also has to bear in mind that if he goes after Eguchi, he would be destroying the newfound life of the woman he once loved. In any case, can one simple Chinese migrant take on the yakuza alone?




The show is definitely worth to watch. It is a great movie, one of the best Jackie Chan movie. Although is not too much of action, the story line is very interesting. I strongly recommend you to watch.



Just to share:

My bf send me this video on how a maid abuse her employer's child


The contributor of the video said this actually happened to the child of his sister's friend.

The contributor said online:

"Heartache to watch this but please be careful with your maid at home and this is not the first that I ever watch but this one really make me heartbroken and looking at his child being helplessly abuse is really pain in the eyes and it only happen recently."

In the video, the maid was seen kicking, dragging and stomping on the crying child, while apparently feeding another.


I feel so heartache for that little girl. What has she done wrong that the maid abuse her till so badly?

My conclusion is: look through the bio data of the maid carefully. Ask the maid agency as many questions as you want just to classified your doubts. NEVER leave your kids or even an sick elderly alone to the maid. Seriously hope that the Indonesia Embassy can do something about it.

Perhaps the maid agency might want to conduct a physiology test on the maid to see if there's anything wrong in their mentally
