After escaping, he mistakenly boards a ship for labourers and is sold to work in America. While in America, Hua sees his fellow countrymen being oppressed and bullied by foreigners. He is unable to tolerate that and stands up against the foreigners, but is attacked by them. Just then, he is rescued by Jin Ao, a powerful swordsman. Jin accepts him as a student and teaches him martial arts. Hua uses his skills to survive in a dangerous environment, where he faces gang wars, murder, treachery and racial discrimination.
