This Arthouse film was directed by Lixin Fan in 2009. This is another movie that took several years to film, however, this one is a documentary on the absolute chaos that ensues at New Year's in China. Fan travels with one couple who have taken the same journey back home every year for almost 20 years. As with a majority of China's working population, Changhua and Sugin Zhang had to leave behind their children in order to take on a job in a factory. Their daughter Qin has turned into a rebellious teenager who has bitter feelings towards the couple for leaving her to work in factories. This is an extremely touching and emotional film. I give this movie a personal score of 9/10.
