Inspired by true events, this film follows Lei, a man who has spent over a decade searching for his missing son. Lei teams up with Zeng Shuai, an auto mechanic who was himself abducted as a child, and the two journey across China to find their long-lost family members.

Lee's eye for everyday Chinese life - whether in isolated rural villages or among aggrieved laborers on fish farms - compensates for the film's minimal commentary on the larger social trauma brought about by human traffickers, and the stigma faced by their victims.

While there are admittedly some jarring notes, Lost And Love is an ambitious and assured debut, and sounds a note for Peng as a name to watch.
Notwithstanding some sentimental beats, Peng achieves a delicate balance between bleak realities and a life-affirming attitude, capped by a predictable but necessary catharsis.

By ambitiously aiming to encompass the full scope and complexity of the social pandemic, Lost and Love winds up being all over the map.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
Lost and Love (“Lost Orphan” in the original Chinese title) confronts serious problems but is too busy reaching for epic sweep and soaring moments to nail the fine detail of main characters’ fraught give-and-take.
Soon the hunt will begin.
In space no one can hear you scream.
Can these two siblings beat the odds?
A young man arrives in Hong Kong from mainland China, hoping to earn money to send back to his girlfriend but ends up falling in love with another woman.
From the smallest beginnings come the greatest legends.
Hell-bent on making a fast buck, Zhang soon meets his match in the tyrannical local gentry Huang as a deadly battle of wit and brutality ensues.
A sword that was meant to be abandoned. A warrior that seeks to honor its legacy.
