The Good Man in Three Gorges

Fengjie County, where the Three Gorges construction work is underway, welcomed two Shanxi residents, a man and a woman. The man, Han Sanming (played by Han Sanming), is a loyal and honest coal miner from Fenyang. He comes to Fengjie to find his ex-wife, whom he has not seen for sixteen years. He bought his ex-wife with money back then and ran back to Fengjie after giving birth to the child. The process of searching for his ex-wife was full of twists and turns, and Han Sanming decided to stay and work as a coolie until his ex-wife appeared. The woman Shen Hong (played by Zhao Tao) is a taciturn nurse from Taiyuan. She comes to find her husband who has not been in contact with her for many days. The relationship between her husband and her was already in name only. Although she knew this, she still wanted her husband to give her an explanation in person. Shen Hong's search process was not smooth either. Her husband was avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally. Although Han Sanming and Shen Hong did not know each other, they had some mysterious connection because they had to make a relative choice between "picking up" and "abandoning". The film won the Golden Lion Award at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival in 2006.
