After the Little One from Hong Kong Turns the Whole Family Around

Three-year-old Luo Jinbei is egged on by her older brother to steal a lollipop, when she suddenly learns that all five members of her family are gangsters.

Her father is a regular at the gambling table. He's caught cheating and dies in Victoria Harbour. Her mother is a gang boss who stands up for people, walks into an alley with a knife, and never comes back.

Her brother is a gang boss's underling, killed on the spot during a turf war. Her sister is a TVB child actress who bullies girls and men, accidentally crosses a big shot, and meets a tragic end.

And she is sent to an orphanage, where nobody cares about her or asks after her.

Luo Jinbei's hand trembles with fright. She flicks her brother on the forehead and says, "Go buy four lollipops! Give one to that kid to make up for it, and the other three are all mine!"

With a lollipop in her mouth, she plants her hands on her hips at the mouth of the alley and resolves to change her family's fate, starting now!

She picks up a stack of accounting books taller than herself and throws them at her father. "Dad, go become an accountant and make a fortune!"

She grabs her mother, who's sharpening a knife, and hands her a police recruitment form. "Mom, I'm taking you to the police academy entrance exam tomorrow. No arguments!"

She takes her brother to the busiest street corner in Causeway Bay. "Bro, isn't this storefront awesome? Instead of being a gangster, open a martial arts school and take students. You'll be the next big boss!"

She crouches with her sister at the film studio and pulls out a talent agent's guide. "Sis, you like handsome guys, right? Then become a top talent agent! That way, won't every handsome guy at TVB be yours?"

Five years later.

Her father is a partner at an accounting firm, and his former enemies beg him to do their books.

Her mother has risen through the ranks to become a senior inspector in the serious crime unit, with the highest case-solving rate in Hong Kong.

Her brother's martial arts schools have spread across Hong Kong, with countless students. Even the big boss he once served wants to come work for him.

Her sister has become TVB's top talent agent, with countless A-list stars under her management. People line up every day to invite her out to dinner.

Eight-year-old Luo Jinbei's daily routine is eating lollipops, doing homework, and eating even more lollipops.

Someone asks her, "Don't you want to do anything else?"

Luo Jinbei, lollipop in her mouth, crosses her legs. "My dad's a financial tycoon, my mom's a senior inspector in the serious crime unit, my brother's a martial arts grandmaster, and my sister's a top talent agent. Why should I have to work hard?"

Four voices answer together behind her: "Beibei is right!"

Later, someone interviews the family and asks Luo Jinbei, "How did you come up with the idea of turning your whole family around?"

Luo Jinbei smiles faintly. "Nothing special. I just thought, if they all died, who'd buy me lollipops?"
