1995, Color, 90 mins / in Mandarin with English subtitles

This impressive story takes place in a small village during World War II that has been dominated by the Japanese. The peaceful life of the village has been disturbed; even walking through town to buy groceries or meeting a loved one is life threatening. Through the eyes of a little boy whose kite constantly flies over the Japanese compound, we glimpse the savagery and complex political upheaval during the war in China at that time.
