Pushing Hands is a film directed by Ang Lee.Actually, it is a name for two-person training routines practiced in internal Chinese martial artsin Chinese,we say 推手(tuī shǒu) in Chinese. Released in 1992, it was Lee's first feature film. Together with Ang Lee's two following films, The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994), it forms his "Father Knows Best" trilogy, each of which deals with conflicts between an older and more traditional generation and their children as they confront a world of change.《推手》是李安运用近代家庭变迁搭配细腻描述亲情互动，因而享誉国际的‘父亲三部曲’之第一部曲。1992年上映，是李安第一部特色电影。 The story is about an elderly Chinese t'ai chi ch'uan teacher and grandfather who emigrates from Beijing to live with his son, American daughter-in-law, and grandson in a New York City suburb. The grandfather is increasingly distanced from the family as a "fish out of water" in Western culture. The film shows the contrast between traditional Chinese ideas of Confucian relationships within a family and the much more informal Western emphasis on the individual. The friction in the family caused by these differing expectations eventually leads to the grandfather moving out of the family home (something very alien to traditional expectations), and in the process he learns lessons (some comical, some poignant) about how he…

English name：As Tears Go By Broadcast time：June 9, 1988 Starring：刘德华（Andy Lau）、张曼玉（Maggie Cheung）、张学友（Jacky Cheung）、万梓良（Alex Man） director：王家卫（Wong Kar-wai） Introduction Today, I will introduce a Chinese film which called As Tears Go By (旺角卡门wàngjiǎo kǎ mén). So let us have a brief introduction. As Tears Go By is a 1988 Hong Kong film that was the directorial debut of Wong Kar-wai (王家卫Wáng Jiāwèi). Critics have compared the film to Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets, as the central plot revolves around a small time gangster trying to keep his smaller-time gangster friend out of trouble. Wong Kar Wai's debut feature As Tears Go By is a visceral, idiosyncratic gangster picture, a raw and stylish film that balances gritty realism with bold stylization, colorful imagery and rapid leaps into frenzied action sequences or hazy, drifting slow motion. Violence in this film erupts suddenly, its impact heightened by Wong's accelerated cutting, which signals the abrupt transition from ordinary reality to the bloody, brutal hyper-reality of the fight scenes. A fight scene at a pool hall is preceded by a slow, tense buildup as the inept Triad thug Fly (Jacky Cheung 张学友Zhāng Xuéyǒu) taunts a rival, mocking him by moving balls around on the pool table, brazenly cheating and essentially daring the…

English name：Mural Broadcast time：September 29, 2011 Starring：邓超、孙俪、闫妮、邹兆龙（Collin Chou）、曾志伟（Eric Tsang）、柳岩（Ada）、谢楠（Iola） director：陈嘉上（Gordon Chan） Introduction Today let's take a brief introduction of a famous Chinese movie named "Mural“.Mural is a movie directed by Gordon Chan (Chen Jiashang) and released on Sept. 29, 2011.

During this trip, Zhu becomes distracted by a mural and enters into the fantasy land depicted therein. There he meets the fairies who inhabit this fantasy land and encounters love and hate. The theme of the movie is kind of philosophical, “Illusions derive from the heart, and life passes like a dream.” The story Mural in Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling’s book Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio talks about a scholar surnamed Zhu travelled to a temple with his friends. The murals in the temple are excellent works, the figures therein life like. When he saw the mural depicting fairies scattering flowers, Zhu feels a fairy seems to have a crash on him, with eyes exuding tenderness and love. Obsessed by the…

English name：The Park Broadcast time：June 21, 2007 Starring：李佳、王德顺、王学兵、徐韬 director：尹丽川 Introduction In recent years, the Chinese park has become a venue where concerned parents convene to discuss potential partnerships for their children. Set in a Kunming park, first-time director Yin Lichuan（尹丽川 Yǐn Lìchuān） focuses her story on this matchmaking ritual, with a delicate story of a father-daughter relationship. June is a journalist approaching her 30th birthday who lives with her boyfriend Doudou, a young musician who doesn't have a stable job. When her father comes to visit her from her hometown, June feels as if her personal life has been intruded upon. Her father, not satisfied with her younger boyfriend, takes it upon himself to find her a new boyfriend. And so he heads to the park every day to meet like-minded elderly people, who have similar concerns for their children. Rather than protest, June finds it easier to go along with her father and as a result meets many strange men, merely fueling the unspoken conflict between father and daughter that takes place every day. The movie is reminiscent of Ang Lee's（李安 Lǐ An） early films, such as Pushing Hands（推手 Tuī shǒu） or Eat, Drink, Man, Woman（饮食男女 Yǐnshí nánnǚ）, which both explore Chinese family…

Eat Drink Man Woman is the last film of "Father Knows Best" trilogy. It is a 1994 Taiwanese film directed by Ang Lee. It talks about central elderly figures dealing with the transition from tradition to modernity.《饮食男女》是父亲三部曲最后一部电影，于1994年上映，导演李安。主要描写了出家庭亲情及世代隔阂。 This film tells the story of a semi-retired and widowed Chinese master chef at the Taipei Grand Hotel. Chef Chu (Sihung Lung) and his family are living in modern day Taipei, Taiwan. At the start of the film, he lives with his three attractive daughters, all of whom are unattached. As the film progresses, each daughter encounters new men. When these new relationships blossom, their roles are broken and the living situation within the family changes. The father eventually brings the greatest surprise to the audience at the end of the story.本片讲述了圆山饭店的大厨，每个星期弄了一大桌菜让三个女儿杨贵媚、吴倩莲和王渝文回家来吃饭，但总是不欢而散，反而他为年轻寡妇张艾嘉的小女儿做几个便当菜，却让小朋友们吃得津津有味。三个女儿各有爱情上的烦恼，没有人关心老爸，令他连味觉也逐渐失去了。女儿们本以为从美国回来的归亚蕾很适合跟老爸凑一对，不料他的再婚物件大爆冷门。本片的剧情安排无疑是相当刻意，用隆重的吃饭仪式来架构全片虽符合主角身份，却表现得不够生动自然。不过导演还是将这个伦理喜剧拍得流畅热闹，风格上依旧兼顾中国文化与国际口味，是典型雅俗共赏路线下的作品，那些令人垂涎的菜式展示更成为本片最大特色。 In 1995, Hsu invited Lee to return to Taiwan to make Eat Drink Man Woman, a film that depicts traditional values, modern relationships, and family conflicts in Taipei. The film was a box office hit and was critically acclaimed. For a second consecutive year, Lee's film received the Best Foreign Language Film nomination in both the Golden Globe and Academy Awards, as well as in the British Academy Award. Eat Drink…

English name：Peking Opera Blues Broadcast time：September 6, 1986 Starring：钟楚红（Cherie Chung）、叶倩文（Sally Yeh）、林青霞（Brigitte Lin）、谷峰、郑浩南（Mark Cheng） director：徐克（Hark Tsui） Introduction Today let's take a brief introduction of a famous Chinese movie named "Peking Opera Blues".“Daomadan” is one of the “Dan” roles in Peking opera, and “dan” refers to the female characters of different ages and identities. Daomadan plays the female warrior role that is highly skilled in military drill, usually riding a horse with a sword held in hand. They are mostly marshals or generals; hence often present an imposing manner, such as Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, etc. In terms of stage performance, Daomadan attaches equal importance to chang (singing), nian (dialogue), and zuo (acting). She is also required to have combat skill, but the combat scene is far less fierce than that of “Wudan”, and stress is laid on figure posture, highlighting the mighty and dignified temperament of the role. Compared with other terminological names of Peking opera roles, Daomadan has got widespread fame for the namesake movie directed by Hark Tsui in 1986 (the film is entitled ‘刀马旦’ in Chinese, which writes ‘Daomadan’ in pinyin, but the English title is ‘Peking Opera Blues’). Peking Opera Blues (or Daomadan in Chinese) was one of the…

English name：The Case Broadcast time：2007 Starring：王宏伟、伍宇娟、王丝菲 director：王分 Introduction From young actress-turned-director Wang Fen（王分 Wáng Fēn） comes this offbeat tale of intrigue and suspense, set in Lijiang（丽江 Lìjiāng）. Anyone who has experienced the tourist hell of this UNESCO-listed town may be surprised to see it quiet, atmospheric and free of hordes of people. Wang uses the old streets to lend a sense of claustrophobia to her tale. A middle-aged couple run a guesthouse by the river, and one day the husband, Dashang (Wu Gang), spots a case floating by. Rather than the treasures he had hoped to find, the case contains body parts. As Dashang puzzles over how to dispose of his grisly find, an attractive young couple show up at the guesthouse, prompting feelings of longing, desire and suspicion.

The film has a dreamlike quality, while also portraying the psychological world of a middle-aged man in contemporary China. But not everyone will enjoy the strange blend of comedy and suspense, the characters engaged in farcical goings-on while living in a mysterious and…
