Plot
Fenggui, a small island in the Penghu Islands, is a quiet fishing village. A group of boys graduated from high school and had no jobs, waiting for conscription. They were bored and watched operas, gambled, and fought bravely. Weng Aqing’s father was a baseball player. Once he was hit on the head by a ball and became demented. He sat on a rattan chair at the door all day. When Aqing fed him, he only wanted to go out to play, which made his father choke. He made trouble outside and quarreled with his sister when he came home. His mother was cutting vegetables and heard Aqing swearing. She was so angry that she picked up a kitchen knife and threw it at him, cutting his calf. Once, Aqing, Arong, and Guozi fought with others with sticks and bricks, injured the other party, and were punished by the police. So the three of them left Fenggui and came to Kaohsiung, a city in southern Taiwan.
