Plot

All his Life, Su Can (Vincent Zhao) has been pursuing martial arts and has a dream to create one school that teaches martial arts. There are two things he holds dearest to his heart - the dream of creating a unique kind of martial arts that will pass on to generations; and his beloved wife, Yuan Ying (Zhou Xun). But owing to a turn of fate and Su’s own stubbornness, he loses his wife. Su cannot live with himself and collapses totally. He is drunk alt the tune and becomes a crazy beggar in everyone’s eyes. But alt this time during his spiritual exile, his dream for the highest peak in martial arts is stilt alive. In his madness, Su continues his practice, to perfect his skills and fists. WILL he finally be able to establish one martial arts school in the end? (Edko Video)
 
  Notes  
1.  Su Qi Er faces persecution and gets badly beaten up, leaving his right arm maimed while being reduced to begging, undergoing the lowest points and most painful moments in his life. Su Qi-er's romantic interest deserts him while his stout and kind-hearted wife Yuan Ying remains faithfully by his side.

Being preoccupied with vengeance, Su Qi Er runs amok while training too hard in martial arts. During this sharp change of his fate, Su Qi Er's personality changes drastically too, providing a good challenge to Zhao Wen Zhuo acting skills.
