In Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Yu Liang Yuan (21 years old) and his father, Yu Ting Yong (45 years old), on the occasion of the celebration of the Chinese New Year, are getting ready to begin their annual journey from the industrial colony where they work and live to their hometown in Henan. This year, however, appears to be crucial for the future of both of them. Yu Liang Yuan, on this New Year's, is planning to get engaged to one of his old classmates, with whom he has had a long-distance relationship for one year. At their age, 21 years old, it is urgent to get engaged soon if they want to assure a prosperous marriage and to accomplish the aspirations of his family. Returning to their hometown will symbolize the reencountering with everything they left behind, the family and friends who they only meet once each year, and also with the land that they consider to be their true home. However, this journey will bring with it an unexpected surprise: the family of Yu Liang Yuan's girlfriend has been considering other candidates and has finally come to the conclusion that Yu's family is not wealthy enough to take them into consideration. For a resigned Yu Liang Yuan, this situation will lead him to questioning both the world that he inhabits and a set of traditions that he does not agree with. He will reach the point of questioning his own existence and what he truly desires.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
