Child Violinist
1980, Chinese. Directed by Lai Fan.
Ten years of turmoil have ruined the country and rocked the lives of the people. Not only were ideals destroyed, but souls crushed. Yu Ping, an overseas Chinese woman singer got married because of music, and her husband Liu Xin, who was the band conductor, was targeted during the Cultural Revolution. They were framed by Liu Xin's classmate, Fang Wei. Liu Xin was tortured and died tragically; Yu Ping took her child, Jingjing, who inherited the music gene of the couple. Li Dunhou, the chief violinist, who was 'sent down,' becomes enamored with Jingjing's talent and persuades Yu Ping to let the child learn music.
