Meng Da Wei (played by Wang Xun) always wanted to be a writer. However, it was not until he actually embarked on this path that Meng Da Wei discovered how difficult it was. At the same time as the career encountered a bottleneck period, the relationship between Meng Da Wei and his wife Yang Xiaonan (played by Yu Shasha) also dropped to a freezing point. Not only that, Meng Da Wei was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly. The discouraged Meng Da Wei decided to buy himself a life insurance, and the beneficiary filled in his wife's name. After that, he embarked on a suicide trip to Thailand. However, Meng Da Wei's suicide plan was very unsuccessful. After repeated failures, Meng Da Wei found the killer Bran (Jin Shengzhu) and gave him the responsibility of killing his life. Who knows that Bran looks cruel and cruel, but in fact he is a rookie who is ignorant, not only did he not die, Meng Da Wei was also involved in a mysterious conspiracy.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
