Power and power is a very wonderful thing. People yearn for it, but if they get it, they may lose everything because of it. Although "Shinjuku Incident" is very shocking, Er Dongsheng's works are still relatively rational. He does not simply point out the wrong and right of the Chinese smuggling, nor does he simply point out the wrong and right of racial discrimination. In just two hours, the viewer can understand the helplessness and inferiority of every Chinese who has smuggled into a foreign country. In fact, everyone is for life.
There is a dialogue on TV in the film, and the commentator stated the reasons for the development of overseas Chinese underground groups: "A group of people gathered because of being oppressed or for certain demands. After they established their power, the power began to change. For the sake of rights, since ancient times, violent gangs have evolved like this, but unfortunately rights change human nature. In the past, those who had swallowed their voices became arrogant and their behaviors began to get out of control..."
Tietou, Ajie, Xiuxiu, Lili, Aberdeen All kinds of people are a microcosm of overseas Chinese. Whether they are illegal workers or not, these Chinese who have traveled across the ocean to work and earn money abroad have their own pain and helplessness that cannot be expressed.
At the end of the story, Tietou went back to the sewers that he used to clean when he was a black worker. Maybe he thought a lot at this time, maybe he didn't think about anything, but when he was panting and clutching his chest, he was washed away with the flow. , he also seems to have completed his own redemption and confession.

    Wu Yanzu's changes were too abrupt, Jackie Chan's performance was quite satisfactory, and the two vases were the most boring.
