Following "The Raging Fire", Ma Yuke, Nick Cheung and Ethan Ruan once again teamed up to bring the movie "Rebirth". On August 18, "Rebirth", which is currently in theaters, released a "reversal of killing" clip, revealing a corner of the story's layers of reversals.

The film takes place in a hidden corner of Mancheng. The greedy drug cartel uses all means to cause countless people to break up their families because of drug addiction. Zhang Yao, played by Nick Cheung, is persecuted by drug dealers until his family is broken up. In order to get revenge, he secretly cooperates with Andu, the anti-drug captain played by Ethan Ruan. The two of them work together to "eliminate harm for the people", but they didn't expect that there is a carefully arranged "killing game" behind this. The film's confusing plot reversal and mysterious character settings have made many viewers say "I can't guess the ending until the last second."

This film is the second time that Ma Yuke has directed the film after the film "The Raging Tide". Talking about the shocking drug abuse in the film, Ma Yuke revealed that he was inspired by the stories of people around him and completed the creation after consulting a lot of information, hoping to impress the audience with "truth". He hopes that "Rebirth" is not only an action film that makes people's adrenaline soar, but also that the various dangerous traps shown in the film can warn the audience not to fall into the abyss of drugs. When asked whether he would continue to direct, he said that as long as the audience is satisfied, he will continue.

In the film, Zhang Yao, played by Nick Cheung, has undergone a huge transformation. His later appearance of "yellow hair and slicked-back hair" surprised the audience. Nick Cheung said that he had participated in the conception of the character's appearance and behavior. This film is another new film that Ethan Ruan has released after "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils". He said that the details of the scenes and costumes in "Rebirth" provided him with ample performance space, allowing him to challenge different things. "The uniforms and small rooms symbolize the inner constraints of the characters, which led Andu to his own end."
