A brief introduction to Sanmao students' intentional plot

Before liberation, the poor boy Sanmao (Wen Binbin) couldn't live in the countryside because of his parents' death, so he came to Shanghai to find a job for his sister (Ma Qiuying), who was the next-door neighbor in the countryside.

I didn't expect my sister's husband to be a rogue boss (played by Yu Xiangming) He taught Sanmao to be a pickpocket and took stealing as his profession. The kind Sanmao was finally driven out of the house and lived on the street because he didn't want to harm anyone. Later, the master who set up a stall to shave (Liu Xiayin) took him in.

At that time, prices soared and Shi Niang (Xia Jing) was in a bad mood. She often takes it out on Sanmao, but Sanmao didn't learn the craft, so she was transferred to the fortune-teller Wu Blind Man ().

He and a little girl (gentle mother) Xiaoying, who had the same experience, waited on the blind day and night, but the blind were cruel and often abused Sanmao and Xiaoying. Sanmao didn't want to submit to humiliation, just wanted revenge, and finally the blind man was punished as he deserved. After that, he and Xiaoying both fled to find a new way of life.
