After Chinatown, 2012 The Chinese Detective, 2012 Drawing on Polanski’s iconic film  Chinatown, 1974, Wong plays on the  stereotypical cinematic role of the ‘Chinese  detective’. His ‘investigation’ takes him on  a journey through the world’s Chinatowns,  uncovering the constructs of identity and place, and leading him to Liverpool.
