This paper mainly tells the story that in the second year in Xuan Tong, representatives of the League went to Hong Kong to discuss and hold a large-scale anti-Qing uprising. Guangdong general Tieshan was ordered to assassinate Sun Yat-sen. The mother of Li Yutang, a big businessman, was seriously ill and asked Li Yutang to take her grandson Li Zhongguang home.
In order to ensure that Sun Yat-sen held a meeting smoothly and left Hong Kong safely, Li Zhongguang was willing to be Sun Yat-sen's body double to distract the attention of Tieshan and others, and asked the rickshaw driver A Si to deliberately pull the heavy lamp to escape in full view, so he was besieged and intercepted by Tieshan's killer. In order to save HK$ 100 for treating Ah Chun, Ah Si pulled Li Zhongguang, and running all the way passed through layers of encirclement in the car, but in the end Li Zhongguang died in Ah Si's foreign car.
In order to comfort his dying mother, Li Yutang made A Si his son for five days. A Si came to Guangzhou and entered the "Xiguan Li Family" among the four families. Since then, he was helplessly involved in the struggle between the Li family and Tieshan, and gradually came into contact with the revolution to understand it.
In the contest between Li Jiahe and Tieshan, Li Yutang sacrificed to protect the interests of A Si and Li Jia. Before he died, he entrusted the Li family to A Si and asked him to continue to do so as to support the family. Ah Si answered with tears. Ah Si overcame all difficulties to keep the Li family's industry, inherited Li Yutang's legacy, joined the League, and finally became a staunch revolutionary after suffering all kinds of doubts and humiliation.
