You have heard and read the 18 Stratagems of Hong Kong Men here. When Shun returned to HK in Episode 25, he became a better man and he devised a new 18 stratagems of Hong Kong Men which emphasise more on the philosophy or rather rules of life, where one follows to be a better person as opposed to the original 18 stratagems which is more on strategies to be used. I like this new stratagem. Thanks to Kidd for the Chinese and pinyin translation (in Cantonese) and I shall do my best to translate which at present is still being refined;

Be loyal

唔錫身

    The 18 stratagems are find except for this one.

    唔錫身
    ng sek san
    Disregard own health to achieve goals

    I have problem with this stratagem. It teaches kids not to not take care of their own well being and endanger themselves to achieve their goal. That's not good advice.
