Fireflies in the Sun (Chinese: 误杀2) is a 2021 Chinese crime thriller film produced by Chen Sicheng, directed by Dai Mo, and starring Xiao Yang, Janice Man, and Simon Yam.[2][3] Although the film reunites the same production team and the lead actor of Sheep Without a Shepherd, it is not a direct sequel to that film. It is a remake of the 2002 American thriller drama film John Q., which was directed by Nick Cassavetes and starring Denzel Washington. It follows the story of Lin Rilang, a father and husband whose son is diagnosed with an enlarged heart and gives all his efforts to collect money for his son's operation.[4] The film premiered in China on 17 December 2021.[5]
