"Do you know what a nightmare life is for parents who have lost their children?"

Mainland screenwriter and director Guo Shu Bo, better known by his stage name Wu Bai, began his career with short films and TV dramas such as “Mystery of Antiques” (2018) and “Crime Crackdown” (2021). He also directed “The Big Shot” (2019), a Chinese remake of Ryoo Seung-wan’s “Veteran” (2015), starring Wang Qian Yuan. “Tiger Wolf Rabbit”, also known as “The Road Bathed in Fire” in loose translation from its Chinese title, is his most recent and arguably most successful work to date.

Set in a dusty town in China’s no man’s land, the story follows three characters with troubled pasts who form an uneasy alliance against a human trafficking ring. The first we meet is Cui Da Lu (Xiao Yang), who attempts to take his own life shortly after being released from prison. Before he can go through with it, Zhao Zi Shan (Liu Ye) appears and offers him money to find a certain woman. Instead of following the request, Cui steals Zhao’s car and sets off to meet a woman named Li Hong Ying (Zhao Li Ying), driven by his desperation to find his missing son.

I tried finding more of his stuff on iQiyi, a few series for free but no films.

Might have to go through his Douban page and see if anything there is on other platforms.
