Eight Liang of Gold

One of Zhang Wanting's "Immigration Trilogy", the time background is the early stage of reform and opening up in mainland China. During the Cultural Revolution, Monkey (Sammo Hung) left his hometown of Taishan in Shantou without saying a word and smuggled to the United States, vowing never to return to China. In the past 16 years, he has been working as a taxi driver with his unique Chinese cleverness and hard work. However, his savings are limited, but he has gained a lot of weight. When he couldn't stand the pain of homesickness and decided to return to his hometown, he borrowed eight taels of gold (gold watches, gold necklaces) from his friends, and bought some large and small items so that he could "return home in fine clothes". When he encountered some twists and turns on his way home, he recorded his "last voice" to express his guilt for his parents and little sister. When he got home, Monkey found that his parents had accompanied his little sister to the countryside for a second child, which was not allowed by the policy of illegitimate birth. Accompanied by Jin Cheng's brother-in-law's childhood playmate, he met his childhood cousin Wu Zui Po (Zhang Sylvia), who, like many Cantonese at the time, wanted to go to Hong Kong. Or the United States, but luckily than them, she has already obtained a "visa" to go to the United States - the future husband owns a restaurant in Chinatown, New York, and will take her to the United States next spring. Soon the monkey and Wuzui Po who brought their younger brother will return to the countryside. After talking about the pain of lovesickness with his parents and little sister, Monkey was like many returnees who had not returned home for many years and was attracted by the unique world of China.
