Plot

Prolific and controversial actress Gong Li stars in this epic family drama, set across 30 years, as a wife whose life is changed forever by politics and events over which she has no control. Powerful, tragic and beautiful, and more about the optimistic struggles of people than directly about the political turbulences of the times. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival Grand Jury Prize and Best Actor Award 1994.
