    Accurate depiction of failed American dream.
    The theme of the film is to let the public know the fact that USA is not paved with gold, as many in China believed and risked their lives to reach USA illegally.

    The literal translation of the title is 2nd younger brother. 2nd, because the protagonist is the 2nd child, and Di means younger brother.
