Qiangzi squatted outside the boiler room and smoked. Behind him was the textile factory where wages were owed for three months.
The winter in Harbin can freeze steel pipes, but it can't freeze the fire in his heart - his mother is in urgent need of medical expenses, and his childhood sweetheart is forced to go to the south to work.
He rescued Lao Jianghu who was being hunted on the street at midnight. Before he died, the old man gave him a warm bronze medal: "Go to Daowai District and find Brother Biao..." That night, Qiangzi walked into the wind and snow with the bronze medal in hand, and the factory boiler collapsed behind him.
