    This is the second attempt in the Chinese film industry of making one of the greatest contemporary Chinese novel by one of the greatest contemporary Chinese novelist Ba Jin. The film has the same name as the novel, and the literal translation of the title is Family. This time, the film got the credit it should because it was no longer war time.
