    Hebei Taipei

    LI Nien-Hsiu 2015 Taiwan Documentary color 87min Mandarin DCP
    LI was born in Hebei Province of China, and the war brought him to Taiwan where he has spent his past six decades. LI never returns to his hometown again, but has revisited it countless times in his dreams. However, whenever he dreams of it, he sees blood flowing all over the place. Because of the Korean War, LI was captured by the Americans and sent to Taiwan with UN's help, over which the KMT government reigned. Although he got married and had his own family, he never stops worrying about the secret that he had once joined the Chinese Communist Party. Seeing himself in the mirror, he cannot bear his hair turning grey. Therefore, he puts on a wig and a women's dress, trying to make up all those years wasted when he was young…
