About A Policeman with a Special Identity
One night, the arrested Communist Party cadre Wang Guochi defected and provided information about the county party committee's meeting at Brick and Tile Kiln at 4am. Upon hearing this, the director of the fake police station, Luo Baiqian (Yang Dezhi), urgently discussed with his subordinates, Captain Wang (Li Lanfa), and Inspector Zhao. The former believed that the army should enter immediately without delay, while the latter was originally a Communist Party member Jiang Wanhe (Zhao Erkang) who had infiltrated the police station. He agreed, saying that there might be fraud, while thinking of countermeasures, Subsequently, Luo Baiqian decided to divide his troops into two groups to attack the brick and tile kiln.
Directed by Zhou Kangyu, A Policeman with a Special Identity leans on a strong ensemble — Zhao Erkang, Dezhi Yang, Baohe Yang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1982.
