Fujian Blue (simplified Chinese: 金壁辉煌; traditional Chinese: 金壁輝煌; pinyin: Jīn Bì Hūihúang; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kim-piah-hui-hông) is a 2007 Chinese film directed by Weng Shouming (Robin Weng). The film is Weng's first and is composed of two separate but linked stories entitled "The Neon Knights" and "At Home at Sea." The film touches on a number of controversial topics including juvenile delinquency, human trafficking, and drug use, which the film implies are the result of increasing influence of the West.[3]

Starring primarily non-professionals, Fujian Blue was produced by several independent companies in China and abroad, including Fantasy Pictures based in Beijing.[2]

The film won a Dragons and Tigers Award from the 2007 Vancouver International Film Festival, an award it shared with Zhang Yuedong's Mid-Afternoon Barks.[4]
