Summary:
"Old Zhao, in his 50's, is a poor migrant worker slaving away in Shenzhen, a city near Hong Kong. When his friend and co-worker Old Wang dies unexpectedly, Old Zhao decides to bring the dead home. He pretends his companion is just a passed-out drunk, boards a cross-country coach, and meets a band of armed robbers. Old Zhao tells them to kill him first to take his dead friend's compensation. Moved by his loyalty, the robbers show their respect and leave the bus. Instead of thanking him, the passengers kick Old Zhao and his dead friend off. Now on the side of the road, Old Zhao tries to flag down a car, pretending Old Wang needs to get to a hospital. After spending a night at a hotel, Old Zhao finds his traveling money has been stolen. He breaks down and weeps. Nevertheless, Old Zhao's determination is not to be shaken. When he needs money, he uses Old Wang's corpse to pose as a beggar. When he needs to eat, he cries at a stranger's funeral to get a free meal. When he needs to hide Old Wang's death spots, he finds a sympathetic prostitute who puts make up on Old Wang. Along his odyssey, Old Zhao meets many different types of Chinese people. Just as the hometown is almost in sight, a torrential rain strikes and causes a landslide. Now all Old Zhao has to fight is the nature. When he wakes up in the hospital, he sees himself on TV as a hero. The first thing he has to do is to sneak his dead friend out of the morgue. When he finally arrives in Old Wang's hometown, it's been turned into a dam. The entire village is now deep underwater. Old Zhao sits down and recalls a scene that occurred not long ago before Old Liu's death..."--Container.
