Released during the last days of the Cultural Revolution, he finally returns home only to find that his beloved wife has amnesia and remembers little of her past.

A stranger alone in the heart of his broken family, Lu Yanshi determines to resurrect their past together and reawaken his wife's memory.
Coming Home is the ninth collaboration between director Yimou Zhang and actor Gong Li. Some of their work includes Raise the Red Lantern (1991), To Live (1994) and Red Sorghum (1987), and Coming Home follows the tradition of being a well-played emotional drama. It's actually quite heartbreaking and you desperately wish for a happy ending.
Genre: Drama
