Portrait of a Fanatic poster
NR

In 1949 when the Communist regime was established in China, the world-famed painter Ling Chen-kuang, believing his conviction for a new-born society had come true on his motherland, returned anxiously from the U.S., whither he had fled apprehension by lawmen when cracking down on rebellious activities he had actively engaged in out of cynicism and hostility – the feelings evolved from constant haunting by the memories of his childhood miserableness – to the then existing institutions in China. Alas, to his disillusion, the land he had so deeply loved, the society of which he had expected so much, should have turned out to be the hell on earth. Why? The enigma kept obsessing and puzzling him even to his dying moment.

Zang Guang-xing is a veteran soldier from Mainland China who married a young Taiwanese woman. He has been working as a supervisor in a construction company for seven years. Everyday he rides the same motorbike to work. He suffers enough misery from riding that motorbike, and dreams of buying a car. So he asks around for decent second-hand cars. His son doesn't like any car he chooses. His wife, a typical Taiwanese woman who lives frugally, shaves any penny she can. She is the one who pays for the family's new car. They go out on trips happily, and become the envy of the neighborhood. Zhang thus gets the new car he's always dreamed of, but he starts to worry about it getting dirty, because it's simply too new, too nice for him. The car thus becomes his son's vehicle. He rides the old bike to work again, just like he has during all these years.

Returning Home poster
NR

Over 70 years ago, more than 2 million people from various provinces of mainland China went to Taiwan, including nearly 600,000 soldiers. These veterans were separated from their families for half a century, yet their belief in returning home never faded. After two years of searching, interviews, and on-site filming, the documentary film focuses on six Taiwanese veterans with different origins, backgrounds, and identities, using real footage to capture the heartfelt voices of the Taiwanese people. Bearing the pain of a lifetime, they held onto the memory of their blood ties with mainland China, courageously and resolutely declaring, "I want to return to the mainland."
