Full Plot Details

After the Sino-Japanese War, Kwei Dz, one of the family members of Japanese soldiers accepted a Chinese officer's proposal and remained in China. Later they had a daughter named Ann. The officer went to Hong Kong to work, leaving Kwei Dz and Ann in Macao. Kwei Dz, unable to communicate with her in-laws, much less accept their ways, became remorseful. Yet the worst problem she had was that Ann did not accept her as a mother. After Ann got a Master Degree in UK she went back to Hong Kong. Kwei Dz had been feeling very homesick for her mother country and decided to take Ann and return to Japan. In Japan, Ann began to understand her mother's pain because she did not understand Japan or the Japanese. Later a telegram from Canton arrived saying that Ann's grandfather had had a stroke. Upon seeing her to grandfather, Ann realized that, in spite of his now frail body, a body once tortured by Red Guards, he was so hopeful for China's future. Ann saw that China was now trying to find its own way in the midst of its self-inflicted turmoil.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Mercury JOne of my favourite movie dealing with the mother-daughter relationship and the question of exile including issues between Chinese and Japanese. Maggie Cheung was wonderful in this movie definitely recomended. The best Ann Hui work. A masterpiece. No Cantonese audio DVD and I can't find the VCD which is not sold anymore :(
User Review - 10/10 by George BOne of the best mother-daughter flicks I've ever seen. Much more subtle than Terms of Endearment. Also one of the best works by both the director Ann Hui and the screenwriter Wu Nian Jen. Lu Xiao Fen and Maggie Cheung gave powerful performances.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UIt has to be one of my favorite films of all time. It'Â?Â?s a moving autobiography by one of the best Hong Kong film directors, Ann Hui.
User Review - 8/10 by Mattias EA very personal film from Ann Hui, blending recollections of her own youth and family history with the development of modern China and the still infectious Sino-Japanese relations. A beautifully conceived, sad and hope-inspiring work.
User Review - 6/10 by Alister NTaking the mother/daughter dynamics of the melodrama as a model, the film explores the links between cultural fallout, nationhood and family ties. Feminist in tone and spirit without beating the dead horse of men=evil. It's a pity the script is fashioned more for metaphors and exploration than believability and excitement, but then you could do a lot worse than Maggie Cheung for a vicarious observor.
