This chapter opens on a street in Hong Kong. It's the middle of the night, and a young man is selling wine to a beggar. The young man's name is Ling-ling, and he's just won a lot of money in a chicken fight. He's going to use the money to pay off his mom's debt. The beggar is all, "Hey brother, I've got some money for you, too. I'm going to give you the money right away." The beggar doesn't care what his mom thinks, he just wants to make a quick buck off of his mom. The man runs off to buy some food, and the young man runs back to buy more food.
