Berlin time on the afternoon of February 11 , the 58th Berlin Film Festival main competition held the second Chinese film entry, "Sparrow" . "Sparrow's " shooting lasted more than three years, the convergence of Johnny To to try many types of film,with a modern martial arts film feeling. Sparrow is not only about flying sparrow, but also about "pickpockets", "fortune tellers" and an imprisoned woman. Simon Yam plays a pickpocket, Linxilei plays the woman of a triad boss under house arrest and eventually rescued.

According to Johnny's analysis, "Sparrow" is a film that mainly shows his sentiments in Hong Kong, because, in his view, those who are familiar with the characteristics of Hong Kong will no longer exist in 10 years streetscape. It was made purely for Hong Kong films, the Hong Kong Film Workers relatively depicts on the development in mainland in recent years. Johnny To in the contrary hopes that more and more mainland film workers will be able to show also the developments in Hong Kong.
