Plot:	A heart-tugging, rare Chinese Christmas story about a bar girl serving drinks to a man that looks like her husband from five years ago. She convinces him to fulfill her son's wishes of having the father he's never seen show up for Christmas.
Overview:	In the sixties, love stories portrayed women as sentimentalists or sacrificial lambs. Later on, directors like Chu Yuan replaced these themes of sacrifice with abandonment. "The Forbidden Past" is a heart-tugging, rare Chinese Christmas story about a bar girl (Ching Li) serving drinks to a man that looks like her husband from five years ago. She convinces him to fulfill her son's wishes of having the father he's never seen show up for Christmas. A merry Christmas follows?
