This film reminded me " The Bronx Tale" - a teenager grew up in Bronx with a father who was a bus driver, just earning enough to support a family. They lived in poverty but with a content honest life. While the mafia" father" whom was rich and feared by the public. He served as a father figure and provided the teenager another perspective of life. Not sure if this Taiwanese movie was inspired by the Bronx Tale. Both are a great movie.
