Name: Huang tang li xian
Genre: Action
Cast: Ling Huang, Jie Song, Yanjun Sun

The literal translation of the title of this film is: Absurd Adventure.

The original intension of the film crew appeared to be attempting making a comedy mixed with action, but instead of being funny, the scenes became foolish, or absurd, just like the title described.

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.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.
