Four brothers—salt traffickers, rapists and profiteers—rule over a backwater village. Unable to fight this new “Gang of Four” through official channels, the local Party Secretary, Ye Guangrong, assembles a colorful posse of assorted riff-raff, thugs, coarse peasants and fed-up villagers. And then they fight dirty—joyfully pouring out the foulest, most vulgar and imaginative language heard in recent Chinese cinema.
