Director Statement

The film "Trolley Case" was shot in an abandoned mining area called "Kabuqi" in the desert of the northwest. There used to be residents, communities and schools. After the coal mining, the old mining area was abolished, and the wandering wild animals gathered in this place where there was no human smoke. So I conceived a story about redemption away from the modern city.
       Wu Ming and Luo Han in the film are always walking. Wu Ming drags the box full of his crimes to the road of redemption. Luo Han is the mapping in Wu Ming's heart. Wu Ming put down the burden of the heart, and this time redemption is just the beginning of another cycle. Wu Ming left the ruins and returned to the city that had brought him sin. In the circumstance of greed and anger, humanity is struggling but unable to overcome the idiots and blindness of the self. This is what I want to express, the "unknown" in the depths of human nature.
