Versions

The film was released in two different versions in China and abroad. In the domestic (censored) version, Xiao Qiang was caught by the police (he escaped from a medical clinic after being beaten) while the other miners were all rescued by the police following the explosion. This version ends with police officers instructing Tie to obey the laws. In the international version, Xiao Qiang was bludgeoned to death underground by fellow miners, and the other miners (except for the boy) all died in the final explosion.
