Overview
SO TSAN, better known as Beggar So, is one of the ten best Kung-Fu maters known in Canton, the ‘Canton Ten Tigers‘, in the 1920's. His legendary life unfolds when he is falsely accused to have killed his father, also a renowned Kung-Fu master, who actually died of stimulant overdose.

The series mounts to a new climax when TSAN, just about to marry another girl YING, gets to know that LING sacrificed all for his sake.
