This is a 2014 Chinese historical drama directed by Zhang Yimou, based on the novel:"The Criminal Lu Yanshi (陆犯焉识; 陸犯焉識)" written by novelist Geling Yan.
Lu Yanshi was a professor before being sent to the labor camp during the Cultural Revolution.
He escaped from the labor camp in Xining to meet his long-missed wife Feng Wanyu and daughter Dandan.
However, the police were already waiting outside the house to arrest him.
It is one of the profoundly heart-wrenching and heartbreaking tragedies the Cultural Revolution had caused in China.
