The movie The River features a young man in his early 20's by the name of Hsiao-Kang. In this movie, Hsiao-Kang bumps into an old girlfriend on an escalator, where she talks him into joining her in a film she is working in. The director of the film decides to cast him in the film, first as a dead body, then on a boat. After shooting his scenes, Hsiao-Kang develops a dull pain in his neck that progressively becomes more painful as time goes on. His family tries everything they can to ease the pain like acupuncture, massages, and having him rest. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work and the pain becomes so unbearable that he wishes he would die.
