This movie is a much more realistic reflection on the experience of German technical experts in China and their Chinese colleagues than the movie Black Cannon Incident (Hei Pao Shi Jian) made in the same year.

The West German engineer and his Chinese friends had a better fate than their counterparts in Black Cannon Incident (1986), and furthermore, their clashes due to cultural misunderstanding, as well as their joys were accurately reflected in this movie. In this movie, many bad practices of Chinese vendors are also honestly reflected, for example, for the same product and service, charging foreigners a price that is several times higher what they usually charge for the domestic Chinese residents, but very unfortunately, such bad practice still exists today.
