Baak Maan Fu Yung was a game show from Hong Kong, based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show's host was Kenneth Chan. The main goal of the game was to win 1 million Hong Kong dollars by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There were three lifelines: 50:50, Phone-a-Friend and Ask-the-Audience. Baak Maan Fu Yung first aired on April 29, 2001. It was broadcast by Hong Kong's ATV.
Three witnesses, photographer Cheng Suqi, Oriental Research Society member Li Qiwen, and police chief Liang Ruijie, observed a councilor being shot. Suqi unwittingly took a photo, which was later destroyed. A committee member of the case's investigation, Prosecutor Jiang Zhushi, saw the photo at a film festival but did not see it again. After the Oriental Research Society faced arson, Qiwen discovered that it was an intelligence organization and was then chased. Suqi eventually found the photo, which revealed the witness and led to Qiwen's acquaintance with Zhushi and progress in the investigation. However, Zhushi persisted in investigating even after discovering the wide scope of the shooting case. Zhushi obtained a box of tapes with information about the case's motive and mastermind but was later killed.
