Coming Home

On Tuesday, October 13, 2015, I went to see the movie Coming Home (Gui Lai), featuring Gong Li.  The movie is about Feng Wanyu, played by Li, who was a mother raising a daughter Dandan (played by Huiwen Zhang), during the Cultural Revolution.  Her husband, Lu Yanshi (played by Daoming Chen) was captured as a political prisoner.

Twenty years passed and Lu is finally released.  However, he learns that Feng is suffering from amnesia and remembers very little of her past.

A painful tale of patience, love and sacrifice.  Kind of like the Chinese version of The Notebook, but...  I don't think the ending is as Hollywood.
