Plot:	Returning home from years of forced labor, painter Gengnian's hands are permanently damaged; and his 9 year-old son doesn't recognize him or want him around. Their antagonistic but evolving relationship is the focus of this decade-spanning film. Copyright © 2000+ HKFlix, all rights reserved.

Overview:	It is 1976 and the death of Chairman Mao has brought an end to the tyranny of the Gang of Four. The painter Gengnian (Sun Haiying) has spent years in a labour camp where his hands were permanently damaged. He returns home to his beloved wife Xiuqing (Joan Chen) and to his nine-year-old son Xiangyang (Zhang Fan), who, besides not recognizing him, is also deeply disturbed by the imposition of this new presence in his life. Refusing to acknowledge his clearly burgeoning talent in painting, Xiangyang lets a firecracker blow up in his hand - a desperate attempt to mirror his father's injury and shatter Gengnian's dreams for his son's artistic career. Decades go by in a whirlwind of events that produce a new China oblivious to its past and traditions. Ironically, Xiangyang has become a renowned painter yet still has a difficult relationship with his father. Courtesy Of Asian Film Connections, an HKFlix Affiliate Site.
