Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Lost on Journey" in English language version.
Lost on Journey exploits the subject of fortuitous urban encounters and the figure of the stranger/traveler/journeyman to the full. Modeled on the Paramount Pictures production Planes, Trains and Automobiles, which starred Steve Martin and John Candy, the film focuses on the relationship between a gullible migrant worker with a sunny outlook, played by Wang Baoqiang—himself a rural migrant worker before becoming a movie star—and his ambitious city-slicker fellow traveler.
