During the period of 1962, the mainland was in a period of economic difficulties. Wu Guohao (Lv Liangwei), a Shantou youth who fled to Hong Kong with the tide of refugees, turned to gangsters and fat cats (Zheng Zeshi) because he didn't want to be bullied by gangsters. After several bloody battles, he was reused by the fat cat, established his position in the gang, and became more and more powerful.
The "fat cat" who gradually felt threatened set a trap for Wu Guohao and let the drug lords hunt him down. Although he didn't kill him and broke his leg, he was eventually framed and imprisoned by the other party. With inspector Lei Zonghua getting the position, Wu Guohao took over all the sites in Fat Cat and became the head of the four families of the gang. Because he was willing to pay for the detectives who worked for him, the police station became his umbrella for drug trafficking.

Second, the character prototype
The prototype of Wu Guohao in Lame Hao is Wu Xihao, one of the four major families in Hong Kong. When the film was released, Wu Xihao was still serving his sentence, because the main story of Lame Hao was based on Wu Xihao's real experience and there were too many interpretations in the plot and characters. There is an apology statement at the beginning of the film: "This film was shot without the consent of Mr. Wu Xihao. It is purely coincidental that there are plots such as imitation and innuendo in the film. " .
Wu Xihao was born in Dahao, Shantou, Guangdong, and moved to Hong Kong in the early 1960s (corresponding to the plot of fleeing famine in the film). He started out as a gambling stall in Shek Kip Mei (Wu Guohao was detained for gambling). From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, he sold drugs worth more than 300 million yuan (buying white powder and opium in the film).
Its syndicate even colluded with high-ranking corrupt police officers of the Hong Kong Police Force, and also involved in serious cases such as murder (corresponding to the relationship between the film and Lei Laohu). At the end of 1974, Wu Xihao was arrested after returning from Taiwan Province Province (corresponding to the end of the year, he was arrested by the marine police). 199/kloc-0 was released from prison by the governor for advanced liver cancer in. Twenty-five days after he was released from prison, his condition deteriorated and he died.
However, in the film, the director hinted that Wu Xihao in prison believed in religion, and the subtitles at the end of the film also described the subsequent experience of the principal offender very miserably.
