Who is the prototype character of Po Hao in "Chasing the Dragon"?

Based on the Hong Kong drug lord Ng Sik-ho.

The lame hero in the movie "Chasing the Dragon" is adapted from real people. The background of the story is based on the 1960s and 1970s. The characters are Wu Xihao and Lu Le. At that time, the security situation in Hong Kong was very chaotic. It was very common for the underworld to praise people, and it was also common for black and white to take advantage of each other.

For Wu Xihao’s legendary life, it started from Shek Kip Mei in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Since the 1950s, the Hong Kong government has used it to house immigrants smuggled into Hong Kong from the mainland. When he first arrived in Hong Kong, Wu Xihao made a living by opening a gambling stall in Shek Kip Mei, but soon he encountered strong competitors: the Ma brothers, the elder brother "White Pink Horse" Ma Xiru, and the younger brother "Golden Horse" Ma Xizhen.

Wu Xihao’s competition with the Ma brothers was unfavorable for Zihua, and his career was in decline. Desperate for money and power, he soon found an industry that was more profitable and exciting than Zihua, which was drug trafficking.
