The Chinese Wushu Team went to San Francisco to perform. Wushu champion Li Guonan (played by Jet Li) won the applause of the whole audience. Ah You (played by Stephen Chow) in the audience was very impressed. Wushu team member Wang Wei (played by Di Wei) felt that he was getting older and his future was bleak and he was depressed. When the Wushu Team boarded the plane to return to China, Wang Wei left the team to stay in the United States. Guonan came forward to retain him, but he was also stranded in the United States. Wang Wei attacked the police when he was escaping at the airport, causing Guonan to be arrested by the police and face imprisonment. Introduced by his relative Aping, Wang Wei joined the gang of Chinese gang leader Ma Ke. At this time, Guonan took advantage of the police car accident and struggled to escape. Guonan wanted to inquire about Wang Wei's whereabouts from Aping, but the latter died because of being involved in gang vendettas. Aping's sister A Ling (played by Li Zhi) who came to the United States from Vietnam has lost her support since then. Wang Wei becomes a big gang leader, while A Ling becomes Ma Ke's lover to survive. Guo Nan lives in A You's shop to make a living and look for a chance to return home. Wang Wei's drugs are picked up by A You in the melee, and the fate of these Chinese who are stranded in a foreign land is thus linked together again...
