Men Don't Cry(2007)

Men Don't Cry is a TVB period comedy series that flips the script on classic Wong Fei Hung stories. Instead of the legendary martial artist taking centre stage, the archvillain Shi Jian—a character long known for opposing Wong Fei Hung across film and television—becomes the protagonist. Wong Fei Hung himself plays a supporting role. Broadcast in October 2007 to mark TVB's 40th anniversary, the series subverts decades of tradition by exploring the story from the villain's perspective, blending historical setting with comedic tone. This unconventional approach offers viewers a fresh take on a beloved Hong Kong narrative tradition.
