Lao Tie knows in his heart that he must help find his younger brother’s killer, despite his own problems. He has only recently returned home penniless to the remote mountain community after years away working in the city. Although the police identified the murderer as ex-con Xiao Qiang from a neighbouring village, they were not able to stop him from escaping. Lao Tie decides to hunt down his brother’s killer. He begins a journey that will unleash his long-suppressed inner pain and rage.
Director’s Statement. Ren shan ren hai is a Chinese expression that means “sea of people”; in a stiff English translitteration it would roughly sound as “people mountain people sea”. Because of the stiffness, it is rough, full of life, with an invisible force: the force of a sea of people trying to survive. “People mountain people sea”: the loud noises of the physical world. In Ren shan ren hai, a stubborn man tracks down another man. When the goal comes so close, caught between the price of loss and the chance of gain, which do we choose? In times of rapid change, how do we find peace of mind and our true self? The smallest of accidents often changes the direction and destiny of a bigger event.
