Lu guo wei lai

The Yangs have moved from Gansu, one of the poorest provinces in Northwestern China, and settled in Shenzhen in South China more than 20 years ago. Having hoped to find a future for their next generation, the Yangs only reckon that after many hard years of working in Shenzhen as construction and factory workers, the new Shenzhen no longer has a place for them. They return to their home village in Gansu. Yang Yaoting, their Shenzhen-born daughter, who has neither a Shenzhen residency nor a college degree, sees none of the future her parents have envisioned for her in modern Shenzhen. Amidst the harsh reality of daily life, the quiescent, soft-spoken Yaoting, along with her peers, leads a solitary life, and can only find solace in the fantasy worlds of virtual reality and WeChat. Seeing her parents having difficulty in readapting to a rural life back home, Yaoting decides to visit Gansu and bring her beloved parents back to Shenzhen.

Great cinematography. Anything Fang Yin does is worth watching.

Absolutely awesome. Ruijun Li is a visual genius, I mean he is able to center the whole film and the whole action on the feelings.

Amazing!! Destined to be one of the best movies ever made!!!! The film is very emotional, and Yusi Chen live it perfectly but Fang Yin is mesmerising.

You're in for a treat! I honestly can't express the amount of awesome in this movie.

A beautifully written, acted, and crafted movie. Highly recommended!

Great movie. Top of the line.

Good movie, good plot. Highly recommended!

I don't know how many times I watch this one. I don't get tired of watching it. This is a great movie.

Yusi Chen is excellent in the role, it is his best role in years! I like this movie so much and I would not even think to put a spoiler in my review but encourage everyone to see this on the big screen!!!!

The best of the best! The more I watch it on repeat the better it gets, I'm sure many will disagree with me, I don't care, this film ticks all the boxes.

Stunning film that I could discuss endlessly. The cast was uniformly excellent! Yusi Chen really impressed me. Special mention to my favorite Fang Yin. This performances never disappoint, charm is unmatched and a beauty more intense than the sun itself.
