North by Northeast: This is a story about a policeman trying to catch “LIUMANG” (rapist in Chinese). It came from a series of rape cases, which occurred in Northeast region of
China two years after the “Cultural Revolution”. Captain Li Zhanshan was not a professionally trained police; had limited scout “experience” in the army and an enthusiasm of
becoming a hero. The movie began with the impotent Li Zhanshan who met the Chinese medicine professor Cai Bin at the crime scene, and started a difficult and
complicated journey of crime solving. Conflicts arose due to the differences in their ideas, and the rapist was able to escape one time after another.
