The film tells the story of the Northeast Street Fighter A Neng who lives in Hong Kong. He was interrogated by the police as soon as he sneaked ashore. Fortunately, Jia Hui, who returned from studying abroad, rescued him. However, Jia Hui's father died of a serious illness, and the southern part of the walled city he was in charge of was watched by all forces.

I saw a documentary about Kowloon Walled City. It was nightmarish.
> Kowloon Walled City was an ungoverned and densely populated de jure Imperial Chinese enclave within the boundaries of Kowloon City, British Hong Kong. Originally a Chinese military fort, the walled city became an enclave after the New Territories were leased to the United Kingdom by China in 1898. Its population increased dramatically following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. By 1990, the walled city contained 50,000 residents[1] within its 2.6-hectare (6.4-acre) borders.

Fortunately, it was razed. There's a nice park there now. I sure am glad we're not mice!
Between Kowloon and the Yukon there's a sweet spot of population density. (Yukon is one of the least populated but still nice places on Earth. Fewer than ~45,000 people in ~450,000km².)
We have plenty of room on Earth. We could construct an artificial continent in the Pacific Ocean with a nice crinkly coastline and everyone could live at the beach.
