"Missing" is directed by Guo Caixue, director of the Drama Department of the China Academy of Arts, and written by Li Yigeng. It is an outstanding group drama of the Republic of China. The background of the story originated in Peiping during the Republic of China. At the birthday banquet of the Marshal's Mansion, a ring given by a diplomat disappeared, triggering a wealthy farce. Light and shadow intertwined, and characters from different walks of life had intricate lives. In their relationship, they have their own hidden agendas, with both the fierceness of the superiors and the moves of the little people.
In such a wonderful "script killing" full of suspense, black humor and climax, whether human nature is inherently evil or inherently good, this philosophical proposition that has troubled Chinese and Western societies for a long time seems to have no standard answer.
