In 1905; Sun Wen intends to go abroad to Hong Kong; a British colony; to discuss his plans with fellow Tongmenghui members to overthrow China’s corrupt and crumbling Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi sends a group of assassins; led by Yan Xiaoguo; to kill Sun. Revolutionary Chen Shaobai arrives in Hong Kong a few days before Sun’s arrival; to meet Li Yutang; a businessman who provides financial aid for the revolutionaries. As Sun Wen’s arrival day draws near; trouble begins brewing in Hong Kong as Chen Shaobai’s acquaintances are murdered and Chen himself is kidnapped by the assassins during a raid. Li Yutang decides to officially declare his support for the revolutionaries after the newspaper agency is closed by the British authorities; who do not interfere in China’s political situation. Li rallies a group of men; including rickshaw pullers; hawkers and a beggar; to serve as bodyguards for Sun Wen when he arrives. Li’s son Li Chongguang is chosen to act as a decoy for Sun Wen to divert the assassins away while Sun attends the meeting and leaves Hong Kong safely.
