Plot

Mr. Six tells of a 50-or-so-year-old street punk called “Lao Pao Er” who has reigned over the Beijing streets as the neighbourhood kingpin for many years. One day, he comes to know his son is in trouble and in dispute with a well-connected young drag-racing street gang leader. Mr. Six steps up to help defend him. He attempts to settle the debts of his son by relying on his old school rules and by the help of his old friends. Though things don't go as expected, “Lao Pao Er” and his son are in deep trouble. Meanwhile “Lao Pao Er” is diagnosed with coronary artery disease. In his attempt to standby his principle he wages war against the opposing group. His old gang members who are in different places, come to join with him. In the end, the son is shown well and running a open-bar as he promised. His gang members are bailed out from jail by their own group influence. The opposing gang members leader is heard through the news as arrested. Mr. Six is shown no more.[9]
