Anti Maiost Taiwanese drama.

Less lavish and less inventive than it's companion piece THE COLDEST WINTER IN PEKING, this one's subject still generates interest.

The senior police official refuses to close the case on the girl gang leader who has killed the party official's son. He interviews the her own family and the functionaries who all contributed to her corruption.

The film is unremitting in it's condemnation of Maoist society. The inspectors' findings are suppressed even thirty years after the events. The art direction is more effective than the rather labored script (on the Russian Front the boy comments "I thought socialism knew no frontier") - Drab streets with Mao jacket pedestrians, houses with newspaper covered walls. Violent and not having a great standard of production.
