In old Beijing, the teahouse was the center of the community, and a microcosm of Chinese society. Modern literary giant Lan She used a typical teahouse as a setting to tell the story of China's tribulations and societal collapse in the early 20th century. Spanning sixty years and three generations, we see a touching portrayal of China, from the fall of an ancient empire to the rise of the communist movement. This is the definitive film adaptation of the original play. It was released as one of the Follow Me in Chinese series.
