Roy Cheung Yiu-Yeung (Chinese: 張耀揚, pinyin: Zhāng Yàoyáng; born 20 July 1964 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong-based actor, best known on-screen for his roles as villains or gangsters in a number of films.
In 1962 Hong Kong, neighbors Su Li-zhen (Mrs. Chan) and Chow Mo-wan (Mr. Chow) discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other, but their relationship remains chaste and unspoken, reflecting societal constraints and their own moral compass.
A friendship is formed between an ex-gangster, and two groups of hitmen - those who want to protect him and those who were sent to kill him.
In this prequel to the original, a bloody power struggle among the Triads coincides with the 1997 handover of Hong Kong, setting up the events of the first film.
