". . . a story about a mafia mole infiltrating the Hong Kong police force and his counterpart, an undercover cop planted in the triads. A crisis of consciousness arises from both the former's struggle to become a real policeman and the latter's desire to regain his true identity. . . . Infernal Affairs conceals the question of a postcolonial identity in the twists and turns of a thriller tradition." (Howard Choy, "Schizophrenic Hong Kong")

Organizer and curator: Howard Y. F. Choy, Assistant Professor of Chinese, School of Modern Languages "Mountain Patrol" and "Riding Alone for Thousand Miles" are made possible with the support of the Education Office of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Houston.
