Plot
Ah-Zhou experiences a surreal dream involving the deceased body of Shing-Shing Chen, an elementary school classmate, shortly before his scheduled honorable discharge from military service.[1] When he receives an unexpected five-day vacation, he plans to search for Shing-Shing.[1] However, he learns the leave is actually an assignment given to him and fellow soldier Xiao-Guei to track down Kuen-He, a deserter who fled with weapons two days prior.[1] Having previously mistreated Kuen-He during their service, the two soldiers grow anxious about confronting an armed fugitive.[1]
Arriving at Kuen-He's home in an eastern coastal fishing village, the soldiers initially decide to turn the search into a beach outing.[1] Shortly before returning to base, they encounter Kuen-He, who abducts them at gunpoint to a small foothill house out of fear that they will report him.[1]
