Men Don't Cry is a TVB period comedy series broadcast in October 2007, to celebrate TVB's 40th Anniversary. The shown was rerun from Thursday, January 29, 2009, to February 26, 2009, from Monday to Friday at 12:05 am on TVB Jade in Hong Kong.
The Chinese title is a reference to Shi Jian, who had played as villains in many Wong Fei Hung movies featuring Kwan Tak Hing as Wong Fei Hung, and later in TVB's television series.
Reversing the trends set by previous Wong Fei Hung stories, the title archvillain assumes the leading role of the series, with Wong Fei Hung as the supporting role. With the support of the head of the Police Authority, Guangzhou's top villain Ho Kei-Kin (Dayo Wong) has been riding roughshod over everyone around him. He is so manipulative that he has explored every possible means in his fight for a house with the buck-toothed owner Ling Yuk Tsui (Cecilia Yip).

民国初年，位于广州的“旗下街”是个乌烟瘴气的地方。
传闻何其坚为了个人利益，竟加害亲父，又恃着警察厅长方天圆撑腰，横行无忌，是旗下街的第一大恶人。
其坚得知姑婆屋影响天圆的风水，便用尽奸计夺取姑婆屋，因而认识了姑婆屋业主唐菊、戴银、郭金的契女凌玉翠。玉翠为契妈捍卫姑婆屋，与其坚大斗法。
其坚为骗取姑婆屋，不惜“出卖自己”，使出美男计“引诱”玉翠，企图夺取玉翠的芳心，然后人、屋两得。一次，其坚与玉翠遇上意外，两人被困山洞内，其坚“幽闭恐惧症”发作，玉翠见状加以照顾，其坚稍为好转，便向玉翠披露了他杀父之谜，令玉翠大受感动，令两人加深了解。
玉翠的坦率真诚令他放下了对人的戒心，不自觉间其坚对玉翠产生了微妙感情，可是他又不甘于爱上一个哨牙婆，内心挣扎不已。可是，当其坚成功夺取了姑婆屋后，即暴露出狰狞面目，玉翠方知被骗，感情大受创伤。
儆恶惩奸
武痴黄飞鸿得知其坚的恶行，决定儆恶惩奸，将其坚打倒，群众额手称庆，飞鸿一时声名大噪！加上新任的副厅长马德才为人正直清廉，锐意整顿旗下街的劣风，飞鸿与德才联手对抗其坚，其坚如丧家之犬。
飞鸿在旗下街成立“宝芝林”，广收徒弟，将武术发扬光大。其坚眼看在旗下街无法立足，人人喊打，便假意痛改前非，并请求飞鸿收他为徒，其实暗里揭飞鸿的私隐，企图令飞鸿身败名裂。飞鸿早已看穿其坚的奸计，他要求其坚尝试做一日黄飞鸿，希望藉此让其坚学习如何做一个好人。其坚初尝万人景仰的滋味，但做英雄必须付出代价，要有无比的毅力面对逆境的信念。其坚终于明白飞鸿用心良苦，重建对人的信心。
