They beat him because mo is the one that start the fight, throwing the punch first. Later when he tian came and beat them, the others show up and wants to show them who owns the place and he tian and mo cannot do as they wish.
Mo was minding his own business and quiet on his corner when 3 grown up men showed up and started harassing/bullying him. Then one one of them insulted his mother and obviously that was a line you couldn't cross with Mo Guan Shan. He was outnumbered and out powered in strenght but, he is fierce and proud after all and he rather die than take shit from anybody. That's probably what would happen when he had the guy's hand on his throat and still demanded the guy to apologize for his mom.
Thing is that the grown up men are all local gang and one brat daring to fight them is just something they won't take it ... even more two brats and that's why the fight started gathering the other thugs who can't let two kids get out of there without a 'lesson'.
I guess the 3 men never expected Mo Guan Shan to stand up for them. He was supposed to take the insult and retrieve.
No offense but how do people not get this simple plotline? His family owes them money. They suggested his mom whore herself to pay it off. He got mad and hit them. A fight ensues. Boom. Done. How hard is that to understand? Remember he said he was desperate for money early on? That's why. His family has a debt for some reason.
ok its a simple plot but I didn't get how a whole gang with bats was suddenly on them. It seemed to escalate quickly. Your tone is getting so impatient I don't get that. so sorry if I am stupid!
Lol I know
Why would a crowd want to beat him with a bat because his Mom did not want to whore herself over debt? This storyline makes no sense to me! Help?
