Wang Fuming, a vendor, and Liu Yubai, a beggar, also joined in protecting their grandchildren. A thrilling city search began.

Film evaluation:

Bodyguards and assassins is a work with excellent combination of genre and literariness. Its flavor of the times, people's feelings and details are close to those of Hong Kong people on Hong Kong Island at that time.

Hong Kong people may not understand metaphysical revolutionary beliefs. In their view, it is definitely not enough for a nobody, a peddler and a pawn in troubled times to protect a strange revolutionary with his life.

Therefore, when creating, they found a reasonable motivation for each role from the secular. Compared with some main melody movies, their motives are more credible and grounded, and their sacrifices are more touching.
