Movies like sons and daughters of jianghu

Ash Is Purest White (Chinese: 江湖儿女; 'Sons and Daughters of Jianghu') is a 2018 Chinese drama film directed by Jia Zhangke. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The story is loosely based on the leader of a gang from Jia Zhangke's childhood, whom he had admired as a role model.

Qiao is the girlfriend of a mob boss named Bin. Together they have a lot of power in Datong, an old mining city that now (2001) has become poor since the price of coal dropped. After Bin's boss is murdered, Qiao suggests that they run away from everything and get married, but Bin isn't interested. One night a group of motorcycles overtakes their car, and the riders begin attacking the driver and Bin. At first Bin fights them off, but there are too many, and they begin to beat him, claiming their intention to "dethrone" him. Qiao grabs Bin's handgun from her handbag and fires a warning shot into the air, and then another, scaring off the attackers.
