Aunt Yee...

Look, this is Master's umbrella

Aunt Yee,

shall we have lunch first?

I ain't hungry. You guys go ahead

What are you Chinese doing here?

We are looking for a friend

He had an accident up river

Now you know Mayor Barclay...

...doesn't wanna see you

Chinese outside your alley

Would you just pretend

you did not see us?

Sorry. No, I can't do

You bastard,

we are only searching for our friend

They treat us Chinese miners

like dogs,

having all kinds of

restrictions on us

Yeah!

We are always on the wrong side

Shall we stand together and

overcome him now?

No... The sergeant is nice to us

Chinese indeed!

Remember?

He had driven away some white

bastards for us several times

Let's go!

Hey!

Yes?

Remember,

no Chinese women allowed here

That's the law

I will not forget

Goodbye, Mr Lincoln

Don't worry Ma'am

Wong Fei-hong is gonna be just fine

Hey! What are you doing here?

Behave yourself or

I won't give you face

What?

"What"? The hell!

What the hell? I like that

It's raining dogs and cats,

please go back inside

No, Fai-hong won't find us

when he is back

Master would be upset

if you fell sick

Exactly, please go back inside

Fai-hong...

Yee...

Master...

Seven...

Yee...

Water topples a boat and

so it floats one

Hardness and softness can grow

or temper with each other

This is the spirit of Tai Chi

Reckless movement repels,

stay clam and you stay as one piece

Understand?

OK, show me what you have learnt

from Tai Chi

Yes, Master

Give way...

What are you guys looking at?

It is a woman

What's so excited about a woman?

Uncle Han, don't you think

you're too old for that?

But I can still see well...

...with my eyes

Shoot!

We are closed for business today

Aunt Yee!

Seven, help me to check its texture

Yes!

Should I add more water?

Good! ...Good!...

Sol, what are you eating?

This is glue

Is it sticky enough?

Very!

And you!

Why did you say it tastes good?

I did not! I was only nodding

Go post these Lost and

Found bills on the street

Yes Ma'am

Let's go, gluey-mouth

Post one here

Post one here!

Hey! What the hell you boys think

you're doing here?

Why did you tear...

...our poster away?

We're looking for our master!

You can't hang those posters here!

What did he say?

Nothing... Let's go

You hang one more poster,

you're going to jail

Forget about them! Let's go

Deputy!

Damn!

The money

Hey, you are good

Thanks partner,

when are you going to teach me

What?

This!

Can you show me?

You want to learn leg stance?

If not you can put up

with the hardship

Like this!

Press each of your legs like this

for 4 hours

That's all it takes

Alright

OK boys, you're under arrest,
