A Chinatown named "Knife," located within a bigger, wealthier city, was like a settlement for an ethnic community of Chinese immigrants, old and new. It was named as such because the few streets that formed its boundary and extension on all sides resembling the strokes a Chinese character meant "Knife." That was one feature. The other feature for it earned such a name was due to the notorious stories of its gang wars in the past, when they waived knifes in fights to determine their fates for control of the tongs which ran the affairs of the community. However, the old time and the unspoken glory had passed by, as some traditions and practices remained and lingered; at the present, needless to say, guns replaced knifes in many brawls and struggles as this story began ...
