故事梗概：

在中国北方一个小镇的派出所里，象中国的任何角落一样，警察每天都在代表政府行使着管理人民、维持社会安定的责任。

一个没有带营业许可证的收废品的老头在派出所内面对警察经受着尊严的考验。

一个经常报假警的精神病人，又一次报警说家里有一个死人。

一个不会说话的盗窃嫌疑人，经受了皮肉之苦，始终没有承认偷窃，由于交流障碍和证据不足，只好被警察无罪释放。

在调查一起持枪杀人案过程中，警察们偶然抓到三个偷木头的农民，在连夜的刑讯下，农民们供认不讳。因为春节快到了，做父亲的没有钱给孩子买礼物，便挺而走险做了小偷。

一年一度的老兵又要退役了。 一个既无钱又无关系的老兵没有签上士官，在临行的前夜喝了很多酒，他向一名干部发泄着自己对军队的失望和对社会的不满！

人去床空，新兵还会再来，社会还是照常荒诞的继续。

Synopsis:

This police station on China's North Korean border is much like any other small town Chinese police station. As representatives of the Chinese government, the young policemen spend their days upholding the law, preserving the peace and supervising the lives of the local residents. As they carry out their duties, they meet up with a motley group of characters:

- A scrap collector working without a license is detained at the police station and forced to make a humiliating apology.

- A mentally ill man known for making false reports to the police calls the station to report a dead body in his house, but when the police arrive, they find that the "body" is nothing more than a pile of clothes and blankets.

- A robbery suspect who appears to be mute undergoes a physically abusive interrogation but refuses to confess. In the end, because of a lack of evidence and the man's inability or unwillingness to speak, the police are forced to drop the charges and release him.

Later, in the course of investigating a murder, the police apprehend three peasants driving a truck full of stolen lumber and bring them to the station for questioning. After an all-night session involving interrogation and beatings, the men break down and confess. The only reason they turned to stealing, they tell the police, was so that they could afford to buy New Year's presents for their children.

As the end of the year approaches and senior officers retire from the force, competition for promotion among the younger officers is fierce. One young officer who lacks the political connections and money to bribe his way into a senior rank is especially embittered. The night before he must leave the force, he gets drunk and vents his anger and disillusionment to one of the senior cadres.

Soon the older officers have departed, leaving empty beds that will soon be occupied by new recruits. Chinese society, in all of its absurdity and pathos, marches onward, but the machinery of the state seems stuck in place.
