This is a serious production with stunning performances from both Chin Han and Joan Lin.

I read an article about Joan recently. It stated that she was hoping to win another ‘Best Actress’ award with her role in ‘My Native Land’ but her effort and hard work were not being recognized. Thus, she was disheartened and quitted the showbiz.

Lawrence,

thanks so much for posting this one. although I haven't previously seen it, it looks like a great story about this Taiwanese writer and his family, living during time of Japanese occupation and other hardships.

Andrea, it's such a pity that Joan Lin didn't win any acting award for her role in this film, it looks like a very excellent true story and role for her.
