In 1985, Wei Jiahui directed "Peace Hotel", which tells the legendary story of the peace hotel owner Killing King (Zhou Runfa).
Legend has it that one night ten years ago, a group of the strongest and most vicious horse thieves were killed overnight by this terrible person like the god of death, and not a single living mouth was spoken. No one knew who this man really was, where he came from, what his name was, and everyone gave him a veritable title of "Killing King".
After that night, he cut the ground and opened a peace hotel.
In the decade that followed, the Peace Hotel took in many poor people who were desperate. At that time, there was such a rule in the jianghu, no matter what he did or offended anyone, as long as he could escape alive to the Peace Hotel, his enemies could not cross the saber in front of the hotel and touch the man's hair again. The Peace Hotel also guarantees that it will not ask about any grievances and will not protect people from leaving.
For ten years, no one dared to provoke the Peace Hotel, and the Peace Hotel never made an exception to send away anyone.
Until the appearance of a singer named Xiao Man (Ye Tong).
In fact, this killing king is named Ah Ping, his father is a big warlord, and he has taught Ah Ping to take a pistol and kill those he has captured since he was a child. His father taught him: "If you kill two people, you are a murderer, a bad person; if you kill thousands of people, you are a great hero, a superior person." ”
When Appin was thirteen years old, his father lost the battle and was beheaded by another "hero", leaving Apping to wander around.
At the Peace Hotel, Ah Ping told Xiao Man about his experience: "Once I went to a village and was hungry and sick, and I stole a sweet potato in the field to eat. Suddenly a man took a rope around my neck and dragged me all the way. Before I could run out of breath I stabbed him to death with a piece of bamboo. Then six more men came, and they beat me desperately with sticks and hoes, and finally I killed them. Do you know what the people in this village did to me, the child who killed seven men? I stayed in the village for about ten days, and no one dared to mess with me anymore. Whatever I want to eat, they eat as I please. Finally, when I left, there were five or six children who were three or four years older than me who wanted to go with me. At this point I believed my dad was right. ”
Jianghu and Ah Ping's father chose the path of a killer for him, and the road of life is bumpy, and it is two beautiful women who really determine Ah Ping's fate.
One was his own wife.
Ten years ago, Ah Ping was betrayed by his wife (Wu Qianlian) and colluded with his brother to harm him. He flushed the crown with rage and killed the woman and all his brothers.
Probably tired of killing, or disheartened, or infected by the holy and beautiful white dove on the windowsill, Ah Ping decided to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha, so he founded the Peace Hotel.
Ten years later, Shao Xiaoman appeared.
She is full of charm, her eyes are silky, she is selfish and stubborn, she is full of tricks, her temper is very big, her red robe is enchanting, and the red lips she prints on the wine glass are as beautiful as blood, all of this is too much like the woman whom the Killer King loves.
There was also the singing voice, and the woman's singing voice was as gentle as the yellow warbler's weeping, so when Xiao Man sang a song "Completely Because of You" with great charm, the Killer King fell deeply in love with the woman in front of him.
The King of Killing once again rushed to the crown and became angry, re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, and then opened the killing ring, killing the sky in the dark, the ghost crying wolf howl, after the bloody storm, he killed the horse thief and died in a bloody fight with the leader of the horse thief.
The Killer King is dead, and there are no more rivers and lakes in Hong Kong, no more heroes.
