The film is adapted from the novel "Lu Fan Yan Shi," or "Criminal Lu Yanshi."

Gong Li says filming at the Tangshan Railway station in Hebei was a unique experience. She said, "The impressive scene for me is getting the 'criminal.' It's set in 1960s and 70s. We shot it in Tangshan Railway Station in Hebei province. It took us more than ten days to finish it. We worked on it together. One of the extras ran so fast he suffered a heart attack. It was hot out there, but we had to wear warm clothes when shooting it. The next day, Chen Daoming ran so quickly that he threw up. Liu Peiqi and I were ok. That scene was most impressive to me."

"Coming Home" is set shortly after the Cultural Revolution. The film is set to hit Chinese screens on May 16th.
