The Movie Painter

When he’s not loafing around on the streets or engaging in petty burglary, small-time hoodlum Li Mo-cheng occasionally engages in legitimate work delivering packages. One day he accidentally damages a delivery he is making for a one-armed man with a fearsome reputation. When Li Mo-cheng opens the package to inspect the damage, he finds he has ruined part of a hand-painted movie poster intended for a movie production studio. To cover his error, he decides to repaint the damaged portion himself. His ruse is easily discovered, but when the one-armed seeks out Li Mo-cheng, it is not to give him a retaliatory beating, but to offer him a job as a painter’s apprentice! Source: Books From Taiwan
