Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang

Cao Li (played by Qin Hailu), a proud young woman who wanted to explore the outside world, worked her way from Shenzhen to the glamorous metropolis of Shanghai. Cao Li, who left her hometown, struggled to escape her failed marriage and business failure. However, she still lives at the bottom of society. She and middle-aged woman Xie Qin (played by Tang Qun) rent together in a simple small house of less than two square meters, working hard to earn money every day. Brother Gou, a fellow villager, swindled an old bus and invited Cao Li to join him in selling Fuyang return tickets, coaxing twenty-eight aunties to take the bus back home. Although she was only 600 miles away from her hometown in Shanghai, she still did not dare to set foot on the road home. This low-cost film "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang" was shot in just 18 days. It uses a predestined arrangement and combines a series of seemingly well-intentioned scams to tell a story of returning home that is always warm amid deception. This film was not only nominated for the Best Feature Film at the 48th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards in 2011, but also won the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress awards at the 48th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards. Director Deng Yongxing also won the Best Director at the 14th Shanghai International Film Festival Asian Newcomer Award for this film.
