Introduction
An epic journey chronicling the obscure life of Xiao Hong, one of the most influential female writers in modern Chinese literature.
Synopsis
Xiao Hong, one of most famous female writers, lived through the most turbulent times in contemporary China. Her estrangement from her father sparked a long quest for an emotionally satisfying life. She was rescued from poverty by writer Xiao Jun, but their competitive relationship brought her more heartache than joy. While escaping the Japanese invasion, she married novelist Duanmu Hongliang and they fled together to Hong Kong, which fell to the Japanese later. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 31.
Ann Hui was born in 1947 in Anshan, Manchuria. She worked briefly as an assistant to King Hu. She made her first feature in 1979 and was immediately recognized as a key figure in Hong Kong’s nascent “new wave”. She was awarded the Berlinale Kamera for her work in 1997. The films she has directed have won countless other awards, at home and abroad.
