A company and its legal representative with the same name as the actor and company in the TV drama, The Knockout, which became a huge hit during the Chinese New Year holidays, went viral on the internet. "I used to sell fish like the characters in the TV series, but our company was operating legally," the legal representative joked.

A company called Qiangsheng Group in East China's Shandong Province and its legal representative named Sun Honglei recently received unprecedented attention from netizens nationwide. "I can't even imagine such a coincidence could happen in reality," one netizen posted on social media.

More coincidentally, Sun's story is almost the same as a gang leader's experience in the TV drama. "I also sold fish in the market after I graduated from middle school, but unlike him, my business is legal," Sun noted.

The show's fascinating story about China's successful crackdown on criminal gangs and the great acting on display have become a hot topic on social media.
