In 15th-century China, a quick-witted, senior-ranking government official named Tang Fan (Darren Chen) takes a break from his routine activities in order to investigate a murder, teaming up with martial arts specialist guardsman Sui Zhou (Fu Meng Bo) in a bid to solve the case.

When the peace-loving landlord of the house Tang Fan is renting is found dead, the duo investigates. It is an apparent suicide, but the investigative pair quickly realizes that something looks amiss.

They investigate and eventually succeed in finding a suspect they believe may have killed the landlord. But they soon learn that this murderer did not act alone – and is just a smaller player in a much grander scheme.

As they dig deeper into the crime, the duo soon realizes that something very sinister is afoot – including a plot to launch a bloody coup.

Can they stop the criminal mastermind before time runs out?

This drama was produced by Jackie Chan and was based on a 2015 novel written by Meng Xi Shi.

⚖Defenders of the Law Team.⚖

During the Warring States period (475-221 BCE) of Chinese history, the Liang and Wey armies clash in a fierce and bloody battle that leaves just two men alive on a corpse-strewn battlefield. The first is a veteran combatant known as the Big Soldier (Jackie Chan), who has a knack for tricking people into thinking he is dead on the battlefield by using a fake arrow. The other man is a young general of the Wey (Wang Leehom), who has been wounded in the fighting. Big Soldier realizes that if he kidnaps the general, he can demand a ransom for the man from the rival Liang kingdom, as well as an honorable discharge from the army – and live happily ever after with the bounty.

So Big Soldier decides to do just that. But the journey to Liang lands is not easy for this unconventional duo, who must share a horse on their journey. The general does not want to play along, either, and makes his feelings known. To make matters worse, bandits, opportunist crooks, and other troublemakers litter the way. Riches and glory await Big Soldier if he makes it to Liang...but will he ever get there?

“Little Big Soldier” is a 2010 Chinese movie that was directed by Sheng Ding.
