I Cultivate Alone in Hong Kong

The 1970s. Bruce Lee passes away suddenly, and Hong Kong's golden age of kung fu cinema begins to fade into the sunset. Crippled Ho, the notorious drug kingpin, is hauled off to prison, and both the underworld and the world above churn with rising dragons and lurking serpents. That same year, after failing the entrance exam for the University of Hong Kong, an ordinary young man named Li Chang'an stumbles upon something impossible: a strange narration has appeared in his life. And so Li Chang'an becomes the sole cultivator of this world. Each morning he tempers muscle and bone; each evening he savors the simple warmth of everyday life, with lovely companions at his side as he leisurely watches the winds and storms sweep across Hong Kong. Along the way, he also becomes a great hero—purely out of personal interest.
