    • It is still the same family as seen in ZHANG Dalei’s first feature film THE
      SUMMER IS GONE, but wrinkles have grown on the faces of the parents.
      Xiao Lei, who never leaves his karate sticks behind, has now grown up. Life
      in grandfather’s house is always tranquil, even the trivial daily routines of the
      family members are carried out with underlying order. With this short film, the
      director presents us with what he understands about the day-to-day life of an
      oriental family.
