The actual literal translation of the title of this movie is: Human Smuggling.

This movie give some sort of reflection of the lives of the illegal Chinese immigrants, but it is not completely honest.  The obvious problem is that the movie is trying to make excuses for everyone by blaming everything on the smuggle organizers.  

In reality, however, that is not the case.  For example, majority of the time, the illegal immigrants' debt was not from the smuggle organizers, but their own family members, who put up money, and these are the ones who the illegal immigrants must pay back.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.
