Fatherland (1980)

Fatherland 1980 / 戴德燕清 1980 / Dai dey yan ching

Set in the late Qing to the early Republican era, ‟Fatherland‟ is an epic story of small rural life and sweeping historical changes. Hailing from a small Guangdong village, the humble Yeung family and the trials and tribulations they face paint a realistic portrait of the times, from the major historical events and political winds - the establishment of the Republic of China, the Yuan Shikai era - that serve as the backdrop, to the individual ordeals that tell the story of so many. It's a sweeping depiction of family, romance, timeless values, and heartrending struggles in rural China. (Source: YESASIA)
