The Awaken Punch

A young man, Cheung Da Gong, travels from place to place earning a living as a fighter. He fights at times on a stage before spectators, as a hired bodyguard and altruistically to protect shopkeepers from thugs looking to collect protection money. One day, Cheung receives a letter which prompts him to return home where his elderly father is sick and dying. At his father's death bed, Cheung vows at his father's behest to stay and work his family's farm and to give up fighting. Local gangsters try to buy Cheung's land, and when Cheung refuses, they make an attempt to intimidate him first through threats and then by burning down his house, killing Cheung's sister and mother in the process.
