Directed, produced, and written by Huang Jianxin
China, 2004, 95 min., Mandarin with English subtitles

A superstar reporter at a Nanjing newspaper seems to have it all - a respectable job, a sizeable modern apartment, and a pretty girlfriend, until his meeting with a country bumpkin who demands public kudos in his newspaper for saving a university coed from rape, sends his world spinning. Brushing him off at first, the reporter finally decides to investigate the case. Things become complicated after the alleged rape victim refuses to corroborate the story. Only when the truth is about to be revealed does the reporter find himself faced with the dilemma between objective truth and subjective reality and the raison detre behind his profession on the verge of collapse.
