Xiao Wu, a twenty-something pickpocket who has yet to graduate to the more socially acceptable forms of pilfering proffered by rampant capitalism that his former friends have, begins to question his lot in life when his best friend fails to invite him to his forthcoming wedding, leaving him to seek comfort in the arms of a bar girl, in Jia’s witty, touching, and thoroughly compelling portrait of provincial (low)life.
