Roots And Branches (2001) 我的兄弟姊妹 Director: Yu Zhong Starring: Gigi Leung Wing-Kei, Jiang Wu, Xia Yu The biggest box-office smash of the
year in Mainland China is a tearjerker about parents, children,
brothers, and sisters Meet the Qi family: father, mother, two boys, two girls. Father is a music teacher, so he is only able to provide modestly for his family, but it's the 1970's in Mainland China, so everybody's happy and content with their lot in life. Then fate steps in, and the members of the Qi family are separated suddenly and dramatically. Twenty years pass, and the story catches up with the grown-up children and their very different lives. Is it possible for the siblings to restablish their loving family relationship in the modern day? Cui Jian, described by critic Tony Rayns as "the father of Chinese rock music," plays the father; Jian Wu (Shower) and Xia Yu (Shadow Magic) play the adult sons, and Gigi Leung plays the oldest daughter.
