Ching yan (2008)

Ching yan: Directed by Dante Lam. With Nicholas Tse, Nick Cheung, Jingchu Zhang, Pu Miao. A traffic accident changed their lives forever. In capturing wanted criminal Zhang Yidong, Sergeant Tang Fei (Nicholas Tse) was involved in a gunfight and car accident that put the criminal in a coma. But in the process he also crippled an fellow officer, and mistakenly shot dead the elder daughter of public prosecutor and single mother Gao Min (Zhang Jingchu). Unable to handle the guilt, Tang Fei succumbs to a fog of pain. Gao Min, meanwhile, pours all her love and attention to her younger daughter Ling. Three months later, the criminal Zhang Yidong awakens from his coma. Gao Min, who had been working hard on bringing him to justice, insists he stand trial immediately.

“This is the best Hong Kong cop thriller I have seen since u0026quot;Infernal Affairsu0026quot; and u0026quot;Triad Election.u0026quot; All three films suggest critiques of Mainland Chinau0026#39;s relationship to Hong Kong chilling enough to raise them to a level of art. I expect a remake soon, although I donu0026#39;t think it will be as good as u0026quot;The Departed.u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor those with no interest or awareness in contemporary Chinese politics, u0026quot;Beast Stalkeru0026quot; works perfectly well as a thriller. But with a little reflection many contemporary Chinese films like this can be decoded as profound commentaries on the current situation in China every bit as trenchant as Sixth Generation dramas. This is a golden age of Chinese cinema. Donu0026#39;t underestimate what you see.”
