Overview: One night, the arrested Communist Party cadre Wang Guochi defected and provided information about the county party committee's meeting at Brick and Tile Kiln at 4am. Upon hearing this, the director of the fake police station, Luo Baiqian (Yang Dezhi), urgently discussed with his subordinates, Captain Wang (Li Lanfa), and Inspector Zhao. The former believed that the army should enter immediately without delay, while the latter was originally a Communist Party member Jiang Wanhe (Zhao Erkang) who had infiltrated the police station. He agreed, saying that there might be fraud, while thinking of countermeasures, Subsequently, Luo Baiqian decided to divide his troops into two groups to attack the brick and tile kiln.
Overview: Based on the 1921 novella of the same name by one of China's most well-known modern writers, Lu Xun (Lu Hsun), the True Story of Ah Q is set during the 1911 revolution. Ah Q is a lowly peasant who wants to rise above his class, or at least get out of his grinding poverty. At first he thinks the way to do it is by marrying into a better station in life; later, he joins the revolution as he feels that is the only way he and others like him can transcend poverty. In this film version of Lu Xun's story, the character of Ah Q might benefit from a more rounded humanity to make him appealing to those not familiar with the harsh environment in China before the 1911 revolution.
