No way.

Bloody hell, young man.

Trying to hit and run?

Yeah...

Get up.

I hit one, and two more came round.

You might as well be gangsters.

Oh no...she's his type...

What type?

Rubbish. Let's go.

Loser

So you speak English, big deal.

A-hwa, who's that girl? She's scary.

Really scary.

(Ee-Nan, journalist)

"Air Raid" Aleeeeert!!!!

Attention please, Air Raid!!

Too late, watch out.

What's Auntie Facial doing?

Chicken Fillet?

Quick, hurry.

Come on, quick.

Officer Chang.

Two Tofu, lease.

Wait. Who owns this?

No idea...

Could be his, could be hers,

could be mine.

Just kidding!

I'll remove it then.

Wait, this is mine,

that, I don't know.

Oh poor me ....

Auntie Facial, you can't sell these pirate DVD's.

They're not pirates, they're just DVD's.

Officer Chang, my mum didn't mean it

Officer Chang, please.

Hey you!

Why don't you go after the real criminals?

Why picking on us little people?

What are you talking about?

Look at you.

Officer Chang, this way, please?

Let me deal with it, OK?

No, not again.

I know it's wrong.

Let me talk to them, OK?

Make sure it doesn't happen again.

Thank you, Officer Chang.

Thanks.

You see? Nothing!

Don't let me see that again.

I'll deal with it.

Goodbye, Officer Chang.

Auntie Facial, you don't just get a ticket

you'll end up in court, you know?

Red Turtle says it's fine.

What?

You can't sell these fakes.

Don't forget.

Let's go.

Boss, if you hadn't stopped me,

I'd have given that cop hell.

Shut it now,

Cops are people, too,

They're just doing their job.

You ok?

Fine.

Asking for trouble eh?

Look at you, all that plucking twice a week,

Your face is practically hairless now,

Shush.

Don't worry,

and who'll recognize you in that robe,

and with all that white slap on your face, too? Come on.

-Are you sure? -I'm sure.

Auntie Steak?

It's my friend's birthday tomorrow.

They need 30 steaks.

Here's the money.

OK?

Ohhh.

Let's see,

it's working isn't it?

You said no one would know!

Bye for now.

Seven

I'm off, bye.

Bye, take care.

You'd better go home, too.

Sure, in just a minute.

Bye.

Take care.

Ms Wang, time for a snack.

Ms Wang? Can you hear me?

A-hwa,

what on earth is this?

What's it for?

It's just a pillow.

Some new guy's selling them,

saying they're good for your health.

I just wanted to be friendly.

-Try it. -You buy stuff you don't need,

and you never use them,

just keep piling them up in your room.

Look at that, it's terrible.

Slapping her like that.

It's just acting.

Says who?

Look at her face, all swollen.

Don't forget to save some for Grandpa.

OK, I know that.

(Paparazzi sacked over dispute.)

What did you just say?

Who do you think you are?

Without the tabloid you are nothing.

Who'd ever know who you?

Which newspaper are you?

What did you push me for?

Go on, go on.

What the hell?

What the hell'?!

If your pictures are not good enough

you are not close enough

Readers want real stories, not seedy reports,

do you understand?

If it hadn't been for your dad,

I'd never have hired you.

We're terribly busy here,

I'm afraid you're not catching up.

I don't think...

No nonsense, please.

Just get to work.

Happy Weekly, how can I help you?

For Chinese, please press one,

Taiwanese, press two,

Hakka, press three,

Please leave your message after the beep.

Beeeeeeeeep.

Everything all right?

Fine, thank you.

You're welcome.

(Councilor Change campaign advertisement)

Leaving now? A-hwa?

Yep, time to go.

Watch out,

new girlfriend?

Just go, bye.

Careful with the girls, they bite.

Bye.

Happy Birthday to you...

Stop, please don't do that...

Grandma... A-hwa....

Don't worry, I'm here.

Don't do that ....

You're scaring us all...

I hate it when you're not answering.

Come on, I've been operating for 13 hours non-stop.

I had an accident.

I don't like you riding the scooter.

I don't like it here.

Come back then.

I can't find a job there.

Have you heard from New York University?

No, nothing.

Can't talk, got to run, bye.

Hello?

Dad,

I've got a new job, again.

And I've moved out of Chris's.

I live alone now.

I remember the day you left.

You gave me your camera,

and you said,

for our pictures to touch people's heart,

they have to touch our own hearts first.

How I wish you could tell me more.

Dad,

Microphone, test test.

Pig, what are you doing there?

Come join us.

Ee-Nang,

I'm really sorry.

My mother insists

that I go out with girls with better background.

It'd help my career in the hospital.

You know I really do love you,

but I also care about my career.

I'm so sorry. I don't deserve you.

Say something?

Everything OK?

Dad,

Chris and I have finally split up.

Funny thing is,

I don't seem too upset.

The reason I've been with him,

is because I want a family of my own.

Dad,

I miss you so much.

Excuse me.

Pig gave me this.

Fine. Don't forget

Go get that...

Excuse me.

Happy Chicken Fillet, $2 only,

I wonder if she'll ever fancy local guys like me.

Not bad, eh?

What do you think you're doing?

What?

What my ass!

Don't you know they call me Bruce Lee?

You'll soon know what hits you.

What did you say? Louder?

You'll be sorry for this.

Let me out. What the hell?

Attention!

Childish.

Problems? Young lady?

I don't think so.

Get her in!

Oi.

What do you think you're doing?

Seven! Go away!!

Sis...

What do you want now?

Nothing, really.

What do YOU want?

Again.

What do you want?

-Again. -What do you want?

Excuse me.

Are you alright?

Fine. I'm fine.

Look at you,

I don't mind if you don't like school,

but getting mixed up with them?

Are you going to end up like them?

Wait.

Take these away with you.

We don't sell fakes here anymore.

Again.

What do you want?

-Again. -What do you want?

Mama Mia, they are horrible.

It's fine now.

Don't run with that.

How did this happen?

Quick, run!!

Run my arse, ice, quick!!

And call the ambulance!!!

Ouch, it hurts.

Big sis, please forgive Seven.

Seven is such a handsome boy.

Please?

I promise, never again.

Just don't lie to me.

Promise.

Grandma, you talk a lot today.

Keep quiet when I'm talking to Budha.

You got burned because of bad luck.

I'm asking Budha to watch over you.

It's not me. She did it.

It's all my fault, Grandma.

Don't you dare blame her.

Just do as you're told.

This is Monkey King.

Oh, Monkey King.

This is hero Wu-Song,

A-hwa's favourite.

-Sit down, please. -Try Grandma's special.

-Four Essence Soup. -It smells wonderful.

The secret of my soup is that...

-I don't soak the grain. -Don't soak the grain.

Just set it on a gentle fire and brew slowly.

Until it's soft.

Then add a few drops of Rice Wine.

So the soup will smell fresh.

And it's not just any Rice Wine.

It has Ginseng in it.

It smells nicer.

I brought him up selling this.

Yes, Grandma, I've known this for 20 years.

Tell me, young lady,

How many kids would you like?

Four.

Two boys and two girls.

Oh that's wonderful.

What about 12, Grandma?

But the young lady want s only four.

More fun with 12,Grandma.

Is this clean?

Yes.

Hold it steady.

OK.

Higher.

Now let's cross the legs.

Hungry tigers never hurt their friends.

What have you done to have agitated the tiger so?

That's weird.

Really weird.

Forget it.

I'll just settle down here.

Time to sleep?

Beg your pardon,

forgot to take a pee.

Good bye.

Bye.

Ouch. I can usually do better.

I'm really sorry.

Would you like to have a go?

It's safer this way.

What made you cry the other day?

My boyfriend dumped me.

Your boyfriend dumped you?

So what?

You gals, really.

What's wrong with us girls?

Nothing... Nothing.

Thanks for taking me home.

It's nothing.

How's your hand?

It's fine.

Fine, really.

I'm off then.

Bye.

What you are looking at now,

is the 3D model of the building

we're planning to build on this land.

It'll be a 15-story building,

with shopping malls, gyms and a hotel.

Is that turnip?

Are you trying to choke me?

It's not turnip, it's ginseng.

It'll do you good.

Genseng. Goodie.

This property is 10000 square meters big

with an estimated income

of $3 million from 83000 square meter's rent charge.

We'll make a profit in 3 to 5 years.

$3 million? Who the hell do you think I am?

Is that a joke? $3 million?

That's barely enough for a cup of tea.

Do you have any idea how many doors

I'll have to open for this project?

What can $3 million do?

That's not what I meant, Councilor

Enough.

Actually, $3 million is only the official figure.

In fact, you'll be given,

$30 million.

How much?

$30 million.

$30 million.

Give me back those papers.

Tell them we want cash,

don't leave any records,

understand?

Let's do it.

I'm totally for it.

-Spicy? -Yes, please.

-Quick. -Hurry up.

No problem, two seconds.

There you are, over there.

Careful, hot.

-Spicy? -Yes, please.

Yes just there, help yourself.

-Spicy? -No, thanks.

-Hurry up. -OK, OK.

Ohhh... girlfriend eh?

Thanks.

-Spicy? -Yes, please.

-Yes. -There, leave it to me.

Go ahead, go.

Just leave it to my big sis.

I thought the community service was over?

It is. I'm here to work today.

I've got the press invitation.

A Councilor is coming here today.

Don't you know?

Really?

There he is. See you.

This is my son.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

Brilliant.

Guava, very fresh.

So, have you had a good look at this place?

This place? Yeah sure.

Is THIS what we were talking about?

Yes, we're done here.

I'm taking him there now.

Thank you for your support...

So Councilor Chang is related to A-hwa?

Come over later.

-Sure, thanks. -You're welcome.

A-Liang? Councilor Chang?

He used to work for A-hwa's grandma.

But disappeared one day.

-Just look at you. -Yep~

He later went into politics and is now a Councilor,

rather successful apparently.

-Morning. -Morning.

Let me help you.

Thanks.

Why did you ask?

Nothing, really.

We are doing good today.

Is that Hakka?

She'll be doing good today.

I do that every Wednesday.

Charity eh? Not bad, big sis.

Come here, this is for you.

Come along. You are early today.

Look, A-hwa.

Here we are.

Look, down there,

everybody is struggling to make a living.

They all want to create their own world.

I'm sure there's something out there for me,

for you, too, am I right?

Come on, let me show you how to play,

You are black, I'm red.

Let's see who's today's winner.

Let's go. There you are.

and all this will be nothing.

Thanks.

Landlords broke the lease. Can’t find them anywhere.

Petition? Useless.

How could they do this to us?

Let's have it out with them.

But nobody knows where they are.

Right, you're the clever one, why don't you try?

What is it with you?

Trying to pick a fight with me even now?

Boss...

Stop it. Just shut up.

We'll soon be out of business.

Go do something.

I'll be right back.

What do we do now?

What to do?

Life goes on.

Get to work now, go.

Fattie, stop it.

New place? Easier said than done.

Who's going to buy the chicken fillets?

What are you doing here?

I won't put this on, I won't.

Come on, just put it on, please.

Uncle Ban, looking good today don't we?

No, I won't.

Just put this on.

Dad, just put this on.

Uncle Ban, it's getting cold, let's just put this on.

And who are you? No. I won't.

Please, don't do this.

No, I won't.

Uncle Ban, just do it.

Careful, A-hwa.

Leave the wheelchair to me, Auntie.

Let me go!!

Ee-Nang...come again some other day?

See you.

Come again soon.

OK, thanks.

Look at Auntie Facial and May-Shang,

Her husband, Uncle Ban,

doesn't know who they are anymore, after his stroke.

They have to take him to the hospital every 2 days,

but he just kicks them about

they carry him up and down the stairs.

They still have to work,

and have a smile ready for customers.

Know what? Madam Steak was once married.

To whom? Bingo King?

No.

Her husband, Fattie's dad, used to beat them up.

She couldn't take it anymore and ran away.

She met Bingo King after that.

He is really nice to them.

They all think he's Fattie's dad.

But they don't look at all alike.

What about May?

May and Seven lost their parents while little.

Seven gets into trouble all the time,

So May set up a little stall here.

To keep Seven busy.

What about you?

Me?

What about you?

Here in 888, everyone has their own stories,

but we all dream the same dream,

We all dream of a good weather,

so that we could get on with our lives and be happy.

So that we could get on with our lives and be happy.

We do apologize for the inconvenience.

But you'll have to talk to your landlords.

Landlords my ass. Stop pretending.

We can all see that you've been lining your pockets.

Yeah, that's right.

Shut up.

But we've all just renewed our lease,

$5,000 down the drain, who's going to pay for that?

Who's going to pay for that?

The Manager has promised

to do everything he can to help.

That's more like it.

Within our capability, of course.

Just like that? A-hwa?

What do they mean?

Up~ Down ~

Down ~

Up!

A-hwa.

Lawyer OK? Friday.

A-hwa,did you not hear me?

Take the soup to your girlfriend now,

it's still hot.

OK.

Quick.

-Cheers, Grandma. -Quick

A nice young lady, that one,

a bit on the skinny side perhaps,

but still quite nice...

Bye bye.

Ee-Nang,

I'm really sorry.

Will you please forgive me?

Your cough is really bad.

Drinking enough water?

Talk to me, please.

Give me a second chance, please?

Miss Lin?

I called your office, they said you were ill,

so they told me to bring you this here.

I'll be off then. Take care.

Bye.

Chris. How are you?

Good, I'm good. Bye then.

Thank you.

By the way, nice Rolex.

I've got several of those.

Oh, thanks.

Bye.

He's got good taste, hasn't he?

That's amazing.

Look at how he moves.

This is delicious, Grandma.

Like it? I'll get you some more.

That's amazing.

A-hwa is back.

What are you lot doing here?

A-hwa,

stay out of this land business.

There really is nothing you can do.

Look, this is how serious they are.

Why don't you ask your lot to leave a.s.a.p.

Earning money is the most important thing.

You know?

Can they treat us like this because we're poor?

Grandma, time to sleep.

Sleep? it's still early.

It's getting chilly, let's go in.

What amazing friends you have...

A-hwa,

looks like your grandma is home alone every day?

Goodbye, Grandma.

Again!

GOODBYE,GRANDMA.

Bye, bye, come again soon.

Is this stuff from the market?

Is it safe?

Why don't you just take the vitamins I bought you?

Gosh, where did this chilly wind come from?

So cold.

A-hwa, no one is coming. What do we do now?

Auntie Facial,

Come, try my new recipe.

Look at this, no customers at all,

Maybe we need to get a few kids

to hand out discount coupons.

Otherwise, we'll soon be finished.

What's that? Who are those people?

What do they want?

Bingo King !

May-Shang!!

Fattie!

Where are you going?

Don't worry.

Fattie!

I'll go find him.

-A-hwa. -A-hwa, there he is.

Fattie is back.

Fattie, are you alright? Fattie?

Fattie, your mum's there.

Fattie!

Fattie!

It's over now, it's over.

I was so scared.

Are you alright?

Nothing to worry about,

Mummy's here. Don't cry.

Fine now. It's over.

Grandma!

Grandma!

There there, don't get up now.

-Mind the blood pressure.. -it's OK now.

Grandma.

It's OK now, Grandma.

Are you alright?

It's fine now.

A-hwa,

I was too late to save hero Wu-Song,

I only managed to get this one out.

Don't worry, it's fine.

Excuse me. Could you please step outside?

A-hwa.

Grandma, just lie down.

Everything is fine now.

There. Let me see if you're hurt.

What the hell.

Just don't let me find out who did this.

What are you talking about?

You go and talk to him.

Are you alright?

Bloody hell.

Gosh, look at this mess.

Now there really is no business.

Excuse me, Mrs. Cheng's family?

Me.

Come with me, please.

A-hwa...

Excuse me.

That's terrible. Look at what they did.

Do you know how delicious their chicken fillets are?

Hello, John? Are you still in Media?

What was it like?

It was...terrible.

Here, look,

Look at what happened to my pretty daughter,

it's really awful.

My business was ruined and my legs hurt.

Really awful.

Did it hurt or not, being attacked by the firecrackers?

It hurt, a lot.

Look at this.

And here, too.

Mum, not this.

There's no justice at all.

Have you any idea...

This way, please.

Give us a smile.

Try this, it deals with everything.

Not this... not now...

Nonsense, if not now, when?

Luffa lotion.

There's Officer Chang.

We are all here to help,

make sure no strangers get in.

Yes, sir.

Make sure everyone is fine.

Yes, sir.

-Thank you. -It's my duty.

What's more frightening? Before or after the attack?

What kind of stupid question is that?

My boy suddenly disappeared,

do you know how I...

This way.

They are so difficult.

How am I supposed to do the story

if I don't know how they feel '?

Want to know what it feels like?

Oh God, this is horrible,

and exciting, too, have you got that?

I've got to make it a big story.

Tell me, how you survived such nasty shock?

Seriously, a tough guy like me

was totally shocked that day.

The firecrackers were enormous,

100 times bigger than this.

Everybody was hurt.

Look at this, totally ruined.

Show them the other side.

Chicken Fillet Hero Saved the 888.

Could you please tell us

how the Chicken Fillet Hero saved the night market?

A mysterious Chicken Fillet Hero turned up and saved the day.

He also rescued Fattie from the fire.

Despite the relentless firecracker attack,

they are still bravely looking forward to a better future.

This is Jinny Chen,

reporting live from 888.

Is there any justice?

Attacking us like that?

Of course.

We will cooperate with the police.

We want to know who did this, too.

"Who did it" doesn't matter anymore.

Finding out who is behind all this is what matters.

The unexpected attack only made us stronger!

Our service is now even better!

Come to 888 for the real Taiwanese food.

You'll never be in a better mood!

This way please.

Photo opportunity with our Chicken Fillet Hero,

and hot girls, too.

Look at this wretched flag,

those firecrackers went all over the place.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Try our exotic cuisine, just as good as local dish.

Happy Chicken Fillet makes you stronger

Come again soon.

Chicken Fillet Hero Saved the 888.

How could you do this to them ?

To the old granny?

How could you?

If this goes on,

people will think I am the one behind all this.

I'm going to tell them,

I won't be responsible for this.

Go ahead then. Go.

Why don't you just hand me in?

And then we'll all end up with nothing,

and you can go back to the market?

Slave or master. Your call.

I brought this liver soup for Grandma,

A-hwa.

A-hwa.

Please...let me see Grandma.

I know it's all my fault.

That's why I'm here today.

I know you're angry with me.

You can hit me any way you like.

Not my nose though, I don't want a nosebleed.

Is Grandma alright?

We have lots of support.

Don't you give up, none of us is afraid.

But I am afraid.

I am so afraid.

I'm such a useless tosser,

my knees have gone all wobbly.

I'm afraid they'll come again,

afraid of losing Grandma.

Just like when I was little,

when the creditors came knocking at our door.

There was nothing I could do!

You know?

Who says we're going to lose?

Let me tell you this,

there are no heroes in the real world.

You only see them in TV.

We are all just puppets.

Puppets. Do you know what I'm saying?

Mr. Editor?

Yes, it's me.

Remember last time, about the bill?

I've sorted it out, nothing to worry now.

Yes.

Don't mention it.

Now I need a favour from you.

Bingo King, you go first.

Why me again?

You usually do the talking.

But I've told them everything.

Could you tell us what you do for a living?

Waiting for the next lottery result.

No kidding.

If I win, we could open a proper Steak House, right?

Selling pirate DVD's is actually very profitable.

But you can't do it now,

they'll get you arrested, copyright and stuff...

Haven't got any DVD's left anyway. Bingo King got them all.

Couldn't find a job after college,

so we came here to work.

What with the student loan and everything,

oh and credit card bills, too.

Shush.

Fine, just do as I said.

Bye.

Thanks for the interviews.

Don't mention it.

Call me again when needed

-I know everyone here. OK? -Sure.

-Got my number? -Yes.

Don't forget to call me.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Will you stop getting the journalists to come?

It's for the night market.

But we've told them everything.

Right?

They can come again alright,

just give us time to get ready.

The 888 Protest that's been going on

for a month has recently been compromised

by certain criminal behaviours.

Wang-Guo-Ping, aka Bingo King,

the former nightclub owner who now gambles for a living,

with the still married Joo, aka Madam steak,

the former nigh club hostess.

"Miss 888" selling pirate DVD's.

College graduate with credit card debts.

We couldn't help but ask

if the sympathetic public has been taken for a fool.

Who doesn't want money?

They probably have gambled all our donations away.

Shame on them. This is a total farce.

We won't believe a word they say anymore.

Want money. Want money. Want money.

I have no luck in lottery for ages.

But I've never felt worse.

My husband beat me up and then disappeared,

How do I get a divorce?

It's all Seven's fault.

He got that journalist here to set us up.

Selling pirate DVDs? We haven’t done that.

Yeah, that's right...

Where is Seven? Get him to come now.

Sorry, Seven is talking to the police now.

Who are you kidding?

Police again?

Really? Every time we want him?

You have all been set up.

"You" have been set up?

Not "we" have been set up?

"We" instead of "you"?

Give us a break.

This is just outrageous.

We'll talk to A-hwa, the union leader after all.

Seven is the one. Get Seven.

Get them both.

Either A-hwa, or Seven.

There he is, that big liar.

Go...

Sis.

That's enough.

Someone tell her to stop...

Sis.

That's enough.

Someone go and stop her...

sis.

Councilor Chang, who has been avoiding the 888 controversy,

has finally started to talk.

The earlier interview.

Why you have supported

the 888 Urban Renewal project?

This is a great neighbourhood,

with great potentials.

The market stallholders? I grew up here.

They will taken care of properly.

Profit?

How can I think about profiting from my constituency?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Councilor Chang

still hasn't given us a clear answer.

We'll however be following the stories.

A-hwa...

Grandma?

Grandma?

Don't keep them waiting.

Did you hear me? Go.

I will. Grandma.

Are you alright? Feeling better?

Grandma.

Grandma?

Grandma!

You're scaring me now, Grandma?

Grandma!

You're scaring me now, Grandma?

No, Grandma...

You can't come here. Please leave.

You can't come here. Please leave.

Get him out.

Stop it.

Uncle Chang,

how long has it been since you last tasted

Grandma's Four Essence soup? 10, 15 years?

Uncle Chang, show me how to do it.

Not now, go.

Please?

I said not now, go or I'll smack you. Go.

This is the way to slice gingers.

Like this, see that?

Where do you think you're going?

Are you ever going to pay your gamble debt?

I don't remember anything, I...

What?

Just give me a few more days, please.

Three days then. No more.

Thank you.

You'll be dead if you don't pay it back.

I know, I know.

This is how you play the puppets.

Look, they walk like this.

Grandma, looking good today eh?

Don't be silly.

Let me show you.

You're stealing from Grandma.

Shush,

I'm not stealing.

I'm just smoothing them out.

Look, the notes have been creased...

Grandma, Uncle Chang is stealing from you.

Shush, you don't know anything. Be quiet.

Chang, are you going out already?

Wait there, the soup is ready,

Drink it before you go.

Ok.

Careful, this way.

Thank you so much,

what would we do without you?

Not at all.

Thanks for your help.

Wait...

Hi...

We really must go now.

Can't hold on anymore.

I know that.

-Chin up. -I will.

I'm sure we'll see each other again soon.

Keep in touch.

Chicken Fillet again, soon.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Take care.

Hi there...good evening...

Sorry we're not open today...

Never mind...

-Sorry... -it's fine...

Wait there!

What are you staring at? Start the fire!

Just a minute.

We'll be ready soon!

Won't t be long.

Take your seats.

We...

We are not losing yet.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry,

The doctor says Grandma's bone substance has all gone

because for decades,

she hasn't been able to greet the morning sun.

We too, who have been missing the morning sun.

However, we still have our dignity.

We can do without money,

but we can't live without our pride.

We can't let them take our life away.

(888, YES or No?)

The controversial 888 Urban Renewal Project

will be reaching a final decision today.

We are all keeping our eyes peeled for the future of 888.

If you don't let us work in the market

We'll just have to do it here.

A-hwa. This way.

Come along, let's all line up.

You, to the left.

Chicken Fillet, here in the middle.

Steak, over there.

Come on, let's all get ready. Pig, over here.

Come along, hurry up.

Yes,

Everything ready?

Yes.

Let's start.

Yes!!!

This way to the market! This way!!

Save our 888!!

Welcome, free chicken fillets for all today!

Save our local livelihood!

All for 888 and 888 for all!

Lucky Sausages brings you good luck!

Bingo !

Look at my steak, juicy and fair.

How could they ask us to go?

No justice at all.

They are destroying our market.

We're here to protest.

This way, try the Octopus meatballs!

Save our 888!!

Save our local livelihood!

Save our 888!!

Save our local livelihood!

Save our 888!!

Save our local livelihood!

Be tough, don't give in.

Remember what I told you,

don't let them get away with it.

You'll have $30 million, think about that.

Give us back our 888!

Councilor Chang, this way, please.

This way, please.

Give us back our 888!

Councilor Chang, this way, please.

Give us back our 888!

Save our 888!!

Save our local livelihood! Give us back our 888!

Let us keep our market !

Let us make a living!!

Protest. Protest!

Give us back our 888! Save our local livelihood!

Protest. Protest!

Our friends from all over Taiwan, this way please.

Fong-Jia Night Market from Taichung.

Ler-Hwa Night Market from Taipei.

Miao-Kou Night Market from Kee Lung.

Garden Night Market from Tai-Nan.

Lo-Tong Night Market from Ee-Lang.

Lio-Ho Night Market from Kaou-Hsiung.

Go Go Go!

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Can we begin again now?

Let's proceed.

I'm against it.

-I'm for it! -I'm against it!

($30 million)

Protest! Protest!

Here comes Chang !

Let's hear what he has to say.

About this 888 Urban Renewal Project,

I have something to say...

Bravo!!

Useless, blabbing on again.

Urban Renewal means better life, doesn't it?

Do new building blocks mean better life?

Do new building blocks mean better life?

A chicken fillet,

A bowl of braised pork rice, a bowl of Four Essence soup.

True, they are just food.

True that they're just trying to make a living.

But to all of us,

this place is only alive with people puzzling around.

Without the night market,

people will stop coming.

However grand the building blocks might look,

they'll only smell of death.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that

the government will withdraw this urban renewal project,

and make 888 a tourist attraction.

Isn't that a better life means?

Do you agree with me?

Yes!!

Chang...Chang...

Uncle Chang.

A-hwa.

This is Grandma's necklace,

could you please return it for me?

Why don't you give it to her yourself?

Chang...Chang...

Dear old Mrs. Boss,

this is the gold necklace you pawned all those years ago,

help me pay my debt...

I got it back for you now.

Can I put it on for you?

It's even more valuable now.

Will you allow me to call you...

Mother?

Mother.

There has been an unexpected development

the 888 Urban Renewal Project.

On the last day of the project examination,

suddenly turned his back on the project.

And is now speaking up for the 888.

Protesters outside the council were overjoyed

by the dramatic twist of event.

Evidence showed that the 888 scandal

was led by his chief adviser Lo,

who is also behind the firecracker attack.

Together with local gangster Red Turtle.

They have both been arrested.
