Extended information

In the 1960s, pornography, gambling and drugs were rampant in Hong Kong. Lu Le, who had served as the chief detective of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, was a man of black and white, covering the sky with one hand, and was famous for a while. Known as "Brother Lak", he served as a police officer in 1940. In the 1960s, he, together with Yan Xiong, Han Sen and Lam Gang, were known as the "Four Chinese Detectives" in Hong Kong, colluding with gangs to collect huge bribes. Lu Le is recognized as the leader of the four.

The corruption cases of the four detectives were exposed by the colonial government in the 1960s. Former Hong Kong Governor MacLehose established the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974 to curb the increasing corruption in the police force.

The legendary life of Lu Le was adapted into the movie "The Legend of Lei Luo", with Hong Kong actor Andy Lau as the male protagonist Lei Luo.

The most well-known Yan Xiong in the movie "The Legend of Lei Luo", Andy Lau had to offer him tea to apologize for his sins. He was even bullied by him when he was a young policeman, and became his number one rival after being promoted to detective. But in real life, Yan Xiong ranks last among the four detectives.

What Lu Le is most dissatisfied with about this movie is the part about Yan Xiong. In the film, Yan Xiong goes from being superior to being on equal footing with him, and plays out the growth history of Lei Luo. Lu Lu in life Le despises Yan Xiong very much. In his eyes, Yan Xiong is just his follower, someone who "gets food" from him. The real situation of getting along with him is like that of Ng Man-tat's Lard Boy, which is more realistic.
