The upcoming film "The Lychee Road," adapted from the novel of the same name by renowned Chinese writer Ma Boyong, is scheduled to hit Hong Kong cinemas on Aug. 7. Set during the Tang Dynasty, the story follows an ordinary, low-ranking official tasked with an "impossible mission" – transporting fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an.
The plot delves into the cunning and treachery of the political (and workplace) landscape, while the journey itself is fraught with peril and challenges. Can the protagonist complete this seemingly impossible task?
"The Lychee Road" is written, directed, and performed by the HK Film Awards nominee Da Peng, known for his work on "Johnny Keep Walking!" and "Dust to Dust". The film boasts an impressive lineup of stars from HK and Mainland, including Terrance Lau, Bai Ke, Zhuang Dafei, Andy Lau, Yang Mi, Lam Suet, and Sun Yang.
