土匪 (tǔ fěi): bandit

During the Republic of China era, bandits often appeared in the mountains of Northeast China, robbing passing merchant caravans, so villagers would hurriedly shut their doors as soon as it got dark.

In this movie, although the bandit leader is ruthless and cruel, he is extremely loyal to his own brothers, and in the end he sacrifices himself to save them.

Grandpa said that when he was a child, his village was once attacked by a group of bandits, and their grain and livestock were all taken; the authorities could do nothing about it.

The police searched the mountains for three days and finally captured those bandits in an abandoned coal mine, rescuing the kidnapped hostages.

In an ancient novel, this knight-errant breaks into the bandits' mountain stronghold alone, defeats dozens of bandits with a single sword, and rescues the abducted girl.
