Rising to the Top in Shanghai

Who is Xiao Aqiao? Why is she listed among the Thirteen Protectors? The TV series "Great Expectations" explains it this way: Xiao Aqiao is backed by the Jiangzhe financial group. Not just one person, but a representative of the entire Jiangzhe financial group.

The protagonist's only way to quickly advance his career is to rob and buy guns. At this time, Shanghai was in chaos due to the conflict between gangsters and warlords; power came from guns. Huang Jinrong, one of Shanghai's three most notorious gangsters, almost lost his life and fortune, nearly selling his underwear, just because he offended the military governor, Young Master Lu. That's the power of guns. He could also rob gangsters, and the foreign and Japanese merchants had plenty of money.

The film focuses too much on individual combat skills. Can a martial arts master really defeat ten armed men? And those ten men aren't stupid; they know to keep their distance, spread out, and even snipe from behind.
