Wednesday, November 18, 4 pm

Thalian Hall Main Stage

Lu Yanshi (Chen Daoming) and Feng Wanyu (Gong Li) are a devoted couple forced to separate when Lu is arrested and sent to a labor camp as a political prisoner, just as his wife is injured in an accident. Released during the last days of the Cultural Revolution in China, he finally returns home only to find that his beloved wife has amnesia and remembers little of her past. Unable to recognize Lu, she patiently waits for her husband's return. (P-13, 1 hour 51 minutes)

"Chen and Gong, two of China's most respected actors, offer two great performances in a film about love, loss and perseverance that will nearly break your heart." - Bruce Demara, Toronto Star

"A modern yet timeless tragedy that's desperate, sad and rich with devotion." - Tom Long, Detroit News
