Quick Synopsis
In a small cafe run by Auntie Fei, Chi Mo Sai meets Wong, who has a photographic memory. Seeing an opportunity, Chi Mo Sai decides to teach Wong how to play Mahjong to use his memory skills, even though Auntie Fei, who is also Wong's employer, strongly opposes the idea. Ignoring her objections, Wong learns Mahjong from the compulsive gambler Chi Mo Sai and quickly impresses Tin Kau Ko, a local triad boss. Wong then falls in love with Tin's mistress, which leads to him being attacked by Tin's men and suffering a mental breakdown. Fortunately, Auntie Fei helps Wong recover through Mahjong, and she encourages him to compete against Tin in the "King of Mahjong" tournament. The story culminates in this intense competition, where Wong aims to become the King of Mahjong. Notably, this film, released in 2005, is unique for having a sequel released in the same year.
