The prototype character is: Liu Huanrong.

Crime action film - The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon - The gangster Chen Guilin, played by Ethan Ruan, is rumored to be based on Liu Huanrong, one of the top ten gunmen. He makes a living as a professional killer and is cold-blooded. He is the killer of the Chen brothers.That's him.

In other words, Li Mingzhong in the TV series - Crime Story - Life and Death Dilemma, and Ethan Ruan in the movie - The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon - may be the prototypes of the two characters..And both of them have been shortlisted for this year's Golden Bell and Golden Horses for this role.

In the 1980s, Liu Huanrong was entrusted by You Guolin with 400,000 yuan to hire him. He shot and killed Yang Baifeng, the boss of the Da Shulin Gang, and then smuggled himself to the Philippines.Due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, he suspected that You Guolin had betrayed him, and he committed the You Guolin case again.In the Philippines, he committed another money robbery and killed Taiwanese businessmen brothers Chen Zhengchang and Chen Nanguang, as well as their young children.

In addition, the Wuxing Street shootout that Aberdeen (played by Yuen Fuhua) participated in in the film was also a real case.In 1992, Chen Xinfa, one of the top ten most wanted shooters, and two of his accomplices were surrounded by the police in an apartment on Wuxing Street. The two sides engaged in a fierce gun battle. More than 2,000 rounds of ammunition were exchanged, and the Xinyi Branch almost ran out of ammunition.Later, the police threw a flash grenade into the apartment, but the gas accidentally detonated and the three suspects were killed in the fire.
