Set in a Canton Province in the late 19th century, a doctor who is also a martial artist named Wong Fei-Hung (played by Jet Li), takes a stand against English, French and American forces that are plundering of China. He becomes involved with the lovely, worldly Aunt Yee, who has been abroad most of her life. He assumes the role of her protector and begins using his skills to protect and assist the poor and helpless in his community. As a result his clinic is burned, driving Wong to seek revenge. As the violence escalates even Aunt Yee questions her new western ideals. The film is considered required viewing for any Hong Kong Cinema fan.
