Regret For The
Past Adapted by: Zhang Yaojun Director: Shui Hua Cinematography: Zhou Jixun Art director: Chen Yiyun Music: Du Xinming Sound: Lu Xiangchang Production managers: Zhang Qi Starring: Wang Xingang, Lin Ying |
| This film was adapted from a short story by Lu Xun, a great writer of contemporary Chinese literature. Juansheng, a progressive young man who is dissatisfied with society, works at the Bureau of Education. Despite the scorn of neighbors and peers, he and Zijun defy social norms by living together as though they were married. Difficult as their life is, they are happy. Soon, however, the pressures of their living situation and differences in ideology and character between them cast a shadow over their household. Juanzheng's dismissal from the Bureau of Education exacerbates their problems. Under the harsh light of life's realities, they separate. Zijun returns to her feudalistic family broken-hearted, and she eventually dies in this stern and hostile environment. Juansheng, in his bottomless regret and sorrow, is disconsolate and blames himself for their separation and Zijun's death. Yet, after grieving for the past, Juansheng decides he must bury his sorrow in the bottom of his heart and start off toward a new life. |
