Longhumen tells me to be a man requires justice

I have never seen a comic of the same name, and I don’t know the difference between a movie and a comic. But as far as the movie itself is concerned, I was very excited about it. In any case, the movie always expresses a simple, beautiful and simple comic world. What is conveyed is also healthy and positive. The comic book world of the two-dimensional is so simple and pure, not as complicated, dirty and dark as the real world. So why bother about 100 points for martial arts and 0 points for literary drama?

This work has accompanied me through a period of loneliness and bitterness.

In September 2006, when I was in high school, there was a school vacation. A good friend invited me to play at his house. On the way home, we bought some discs from the video store on the street and took them home to watch. At that time, I bought "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Baby Project". At that time, there were no genuine DVDs, so we bought the TS to grab the copy, and planned to take a gamble.

In the evening, after eating and taking a shower, we couldn't wait to start watching the movie. I've heard about this film before, so I look forward to it very much. From this look, it really lived up to our expectations! Fighting and scenes made us excited. I couldn't help but exclaimed and cheered, it was very enjoyable to watch.

Because I haven't watched too many action movies before, this movie left a very deep impression on me. I was totally fascinated by this movie. Later, I went online in an Internet cafe and saw that the HD version had been released. I couldn't help but watch it again, still feeling very passionate.

After another vacation, I rode back to my home and went to the video store where we bought the disc last time. I found out that a high-definition VCD was released. I immediately had an urge to buy it. I asked the boss and said that it would cost 5 yuan, so I hesitated. Because I didn’t have a lot of money, I was very frugal at that time, and I was never willing to spend money arbitrarily. I thought 5 yuan was too expensive and I was reluctant to buy it. Along the way, he returned home with a melancholy mood.

After a few weeks, it was on holiday again. I passed by that store again, and couldn't help but enter the store again to see if there was still that VCD, for fear that it would be bought by someone else. Fortunately, there are still many on the shelf. I was so cruel and finally bought a set of "Dragon Tiger Gate" VCD to take home.

My family was very poor at that time. Dad hadn't worked for a while, and stayed at home for more than half a year. During that period, I had a very depressed life. There was no savings at home and no source of income. The reason why I was still able to study was because my mother went to my natal family to borrow money during the Chinese New Year and barely supported it. At that time, I didn't realize that my family had no savings. Seeing my father at home every day, I feel sad. At that time, only my father and I were at home, my mother was working outside, my elder brother was working outside, and my sister seldom went home when studying outside, and lived very lonely.

The machines for watching the discs were borrowed from the uncle's house next door, and I borrowed it for a long time. Since then, as long as I go home from vacation, I will watch this film several times, and I only watch this one, because there is nothing else to watch. In order to pass the depressing days. Sometimes I watched it several times within two days, so that I could even memorize every line that every character in the movie said.

In those lonely days, because of it, I spent that period of helpless and depressing time. This film has become a part of my memory of that period, which makes me unforgettable.

Xiaolong told me to be strong,
black dragon told me to be humble,
Raksha told me to be persistent,
Xiaoling told me to be kind,
Xiaohu told me to be fearless, and

Humen told me to be a man with justice!
