Ben ming nian

Black Snow follows a young, semi-literate punk named Li, who is released from labor camp and tries to rebuild his life. In the backstreets and nightclubs of 1990s Beijing, his attempts to make good are continually challenged. Li is of a lost generation of young people and he struggles to find 'a new ideal, a new belief,' on the fringe of the black market and allure of his old neighborhood gangs.
