Qing Lang De Ri Zi

About this movie

In the corner of a little restaurant in a county in northern Shaanxi, Qiang, a truck driver, sank into the dream again which had perplexed him after his good friend, the owner of the restaurant, talked about his life with him. Then nearby the hospital he came across the second uncle, who drove truck with him together over twenty years ago, and he visited his old comrade-in-arms who operated a pharmacy. He gradually saw himself from the old friends' troubles. After waking up in the dim bedroom, he stepped on the way home, hoping to get his mother to live with him in the county. After going through the deep and long railway culvert, he came back to the village, where the dream, the memory and the reality mingled together. It might be real or illusory that he followed the little dog and walked up the hill. He looked at the mountains and the terraced fields in the distance and passed through the tombs, then he saw the same view in his dream. For the first time he tried to rethink about his life, gradually beginning to know his father and understand his mother. At last, he told his mother his father's last words in the hospital. When a train roared by, they two sat side by side, looking into the distance and facing each other in silence.
