On the Beat (Chinese: 民警故事; pinyin: Mín jǐng gù shì; literally: "People's Police Story") is a 1995 Chinese film directed by Ning Ying. It is the second film in Ning Ying's Beijing Trilogy, a collection of three films that follows the massive changes to Beijing in the last decades of the twentieth century. Whereas Ning's previous film, For Fun dealt with the older generation, On the Beat is firmly focused on the story of the middle-aged. I Love Beijing, meanwhile, would follow characters belonging Beijing's younger generations. On the Beat was coproduced by Eurasia Communications, Euskal Media and the state-operated Beijing Film Studio. Some funding was also from the International Film Festival Rotterdam's Hubert Bals Fund.
On the Beat follows a group of police officers in the Deshengmen Precinct during the slow months of winter. The policemen, stuck in the dull winter months of Beijing, get stuck in routine, only occasionally finding excitement, as when they chase after a rabid dog.
Yellow skin...
What color is my heart, my heart?
Dark brown eyes...
What color are my bones, my bones?
Violence and prejudice live inside... sure they live
As well as tolerance and balance
The colors never tell the true colors
The colors never tell the true colors
The majors look,
Look down on minors, sure do
The minors hate,
Hate fragrance of majors have
Superior or inferior? colors ask...
How much more do we depend on them
The colors never tell the true colors
The colors never tell the true colors
The colors never tell the true colors
