...Guard rescue swimmer who, at the very start of the movie, tries valiantly to rescue a crew man from a large boat that had capsized in the middle of the ocean but to no avail. Ben is a distinguished member of the US coast guard rescue team who is badly affected by what happened, given the fact he tried so hard to save the man.

Advantages: Great snapshot of Chinese life
Disadvantages: Slow, depressing, abrupt end
