Lau’s desperate clawing at his chains and guttural shouts as he is locked up express the agony of Er Hu remarkably well, and the look of stunned defeat on his face when he is finally released is painful to watch. Li plays the part of General Pangg in an incredibly nuanced way, betraying his character’s seemingly stoic face as he makes...
