But before its official release, Tencent company uploaded the film onto its website in April this year. Tencent was sued for this and withdrew the film from its website. Sun Kui, the president of the company told "China Economic Times" recently in an interview that Tencent's behavior directly influences their box-office income.
The film tells the story of the romance between a boy named Tiedan who falls in love with his neighbor Meijie, a married woman. But Meijie leaves the place where they used to live as the Cultural Revolution hits them. Ten years later, Tiedan grows into a man and comes back to their hometown with three daughters. It is apparent that Tiedan was unable to forget Meijie and he falls in love with her eldest daughter; however, he ultimately ends up with nothing. Tiedan is forced into marrying Meijie's second oldest daughter instead. He decides to lead a vagrant life with a drama troupe, accompanied by Meijie's third daughter.
The intangible Cultural Heritage Er-ren-tai, an art form popular in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Hebei provinces, runs throughout the movie.
Directed by Hao Jie, the film stars Chinese actress Ye Lan. It won the NETPAC Best Asian Film award at the 49th Golden Horse International Film Festival.
