Invite from Northwest China Council - Movie - July 30 -- "To Live" -- with Prof. Zhan
Movie Night -- To Live (1994)
Fugui and Jiazhen endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui (Ge You) loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen (Gong Li) is forced into menial work. They raise a family and survive, managing "to live" from the 40's to the 70's in this epic, but personal, story of life through an amazing period. The film is by acclaimed director, Zhang Yimou.
For this month’s film we are fortunate to have visiting PSU Professor Zhan Tianxiang, commenting on the film and participating in the after-film discussion. Prof. Zhan has been coming to PSU from his faculty post at Hangzhou University for many summer sessions, to lecture on Chinese film and current affairs.
