About
In 1949, the KMT government retreated from Mainland China to Taiwan, bringing along an army of 600,000 people. The director’s father was one of them. They thought they would be returning to the Mainland before long but ended up waiting for forty years. A hairpin belonging to the director’s grandmother allows her to walk into her father’s world, and to discover the memories of these old veterans.
