Before the liberation, Beijing's Longxu Ditch was a stinking gutter, lined with various lower-class laborers working hard or showcasing their skills. These residents often suffered from the persecution of the Kuomintang, bullies, and gangsters, living in dire conditions. The upright old artist Cheng Baoqing originally sang singles at a teahouse, but after refusing to perform at the bully Black Tornado's gathering, he was injured by his henchmen and fled to live in Longxu Ditch, relying on his wife Cheng Niangzi’s smoke stall to make a living. Cheng Baoqing was filled with grief and anger, but people did not understand him and called him mad. Only Cheng Niangzi bore the shame and hoped her husband could wait for better days. The petty bully Feng Gouzi stole Cheng Niangzi's cigarettes. Ding Si, a tricycle worker from the same courtyard, was also bullied by the thugs. The righteous mason Old Zhao tried to defend them, but it was of no avail. Soon, Ding Si's daughter, Xiao Niuzai, fell into the filthy Longxu Ditch and drowned. After the liberation, Longxu Ditch was revitalized along with Beijing. The people's government brought the bullies Black Tornado and Feng Gouzi to justice and rehabilitated Longxu Ditch, allowing the people along its banks to live happy lives. @baidu
