Director:
The three brothers fell in love and went through many hardships / but finally took different paths. Fu Hai (played by Zhang Guoli) / who is respected as the eldest brother / is honest / loyal and righteous. He inherited the craftsmanship of his master who was in decline / and lived hard with his wife Damei (played by Liu Zi); the second brother Liu Fangzi (played by Li Chengru) is good at observing people's words / flattering and ingratiating. He lives in troubled times / believes in the truth of money and power / and even elopes with his eldest brother's wife; the third child Zhao Er (played by He Bing) ) is lazy / idle / and always wants to get rich comfortably. When the King's Flag changed at the top of the city / Fuhai was forced to abandon his career / become a patrolman with Zhao Er / and marry the kind-hearted girl Rui (played by Deng Jie). It's a pity that in this vast and chaotic world / there is no place for honest people... This film is adapted from Lao She's novella of the same name.
