Drifters (Chinese: 二弟) is a 2003 film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai. The film is a production of China's People Workshop and Hong Kong's Purple Light Films with international distribution through the Taipei-based company Arc Light Films.

Drifters follows the story of a young slacker, Hong Yunsheng, who has become something of a local celebrity partly due to his repeated failures as a stowaway. After spending several years abroad in the U.S. as an illegal immigrant, Hong returns to his hometown in Fujian. There, Hong attempts to reconnect with his illegitimate son.
