Page "A World Without Thieves" Paragraph 5

While the two sides tussle, however, a plainclothes police detective ( Zhang Hanyu ) has been silently watching and awaiting his chance.

As the police force eventually closes in, Uncle Li attempts to make off with Sha Gen's money but is confronted by Wang Bo, who has finally promised to lend his help to Wang Li to protect Sha Gen's innocence.

The two engage in a violent hand-to-hand combat.

Although Wang succeeds in retrieving the money and giving it back, he is seriously injured in the fray, and subsequently dies.

Uncle Li and his gang are all apprehended as the train pulls into station, but the police officer lets Wang Li go on compassionate grounds.

Wang Li returns to Tibet sometime later, abandoning her baby to the locals before praying to the heavens in a show of penance.
