People Mountain People Sea (人山人海, Ren shan ren hai) is a 2011 Chinese film directed by Cai Shangjun. It was selected for the main competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival.[1]

The film is released in two different versions in China and abroad. In the domestic (censored) version, Xiao Qiang was caught by the police (he escaped from a medical clinic after being beaten) while the other miners were all rescued by the police following the explosion. This version ends with police officers instructing Tie to obey laws and trust the government. In the international version, Xiao Qiang was bludgeoned to death underground by fellow miners, and the other miners (except for the boy) all died in the final explosion.

Cast

  • Tao Hong as Tianxin, Tie's ex-girlfriend who bore his illegitimate son
  • Wu Xiubo as Xiao Qiang, criminal who killed Tie's brother
