Tsui Hark is the executive producer, production designer, and screenwriter of this 82-minute Chinese animated feature displaying a full panoply of magical supergods, vexing spirits, and mere mortals. After debt collector Ning (voice of Jan Lam) loses his girlfriend Siu Lan (Lasi Suiyan), he beckons his playful dog, Solid Gold (Tsui Hark), and the two embark on fantastic adventures encountering the attractive Shine (Anita Yuen), a follower of Madame Trunk (Kelly Chen). Their eventual goal is to board the Reincarnation Train in hopes of getting Shine reborn. The original Siu Sin title is Shine's name in Chinese. To realize this fluid-action fantasy, animators at Tsui Hark's Film Workshop in Hong Kong labored for four years. Shown at the 1997 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Rubie lives in Hong Kong in the period just prior to its being turned over to mainland Chinese rule. She edits a magazine and has a relatively successful and prosperous life. However, like all of her friends and relatives, she is transfixed by the upcoming changeover. Should she leave or plan to stay in Hong Kong permanently? Arrange for a safe exit, but remain behind for a while? The issue is neatly symbolized by the (true) protest staged by Swedish film star Liv Ullmann in 1990. Hong Kong feared to anger the mainland government by providing shelter to around 50 desperate Vietnamese boat people and shipped them back. In this film, the editor has begun an imaginary correspondence with the actress in which she discusses the issues she is facing. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
