My Native Land

Chung Li-ho, a wealthy second-generation farmer, falls in love with one of his farm girls, Ping-mei. Two years later, they elope, seeking a fresh start in his homeland of China. Li-ho drives a taxi to make a living, yet he can't forsake his passion for writing. Ping-mei, despite her pregnancy, shoulders the financial load to support his aspiration. However, the pervasive anti-Japanese sentiments during the war eventually compel their return to Taiwan. Settling in the mountains, Li-ho works as a writer and teacher, but develops pulmonary disease. Thanks to Ping-mei's unwavering support and care, Li-ho finds the strength to face every rejection. He stays up many nights to transcribe his dreams onto paper, infusing every word with life's spirit.
