YesAsia Editorial Description

Asian movie fans across the world now recognize Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers, Hero) as a great Chinese director, but few knows that he was once an award-winning actor. Before he made his directorial debut Red Sorghum, his performance as the male lead in Old Well (1987) actually won him Best Actor awards in the two most prestigious ceremonies, the Golden Rooster and the Hundred Flowers, and also in the 2nd Tokyo International Film Festival. Director Wu Tianming, though now less well known as Zhang Yimou now, was also famous for making quality Chinese films. Old Well also received the Tokyo Grand Prix - The Governor of Tokyo Award in the Tokyo International Film Festival in 1987.

The story is set in poor village in a mountain area where water becomes really scarce after all the wells have been dried up. A young man Sun Wangquan (Zhang Yimou) returns to the village from the city, and is determined to dig a new well. He gives up everything he has, and even let go of his beloved woman, just to complete this mission... Beneath the calmness or even indifference on surface, the film actually contains a forceful undercurrent that will surely move the audience.

  太行山深處坐落著一個古老而貧窮的老井村。多少年代了,祖祖輩輩打井汲水,但只留下一個個幹窟窿。老井村人打了百多眼幹井,不單找不到水,甚至犧牲了不少性命。然而他們卻依然抱存一線希望。
  返鄉青年孫旺泉,繼承祖輩的意願,立誓用自己的知識挖出水來。為了這口井,他舍棄巧英對他刻骨銘心的愛,違心地做了年輕寡婦的倒插門女婿。
  老井,終於冒出水來,巧英也離開了,但旺泉的心卻像岩石一般被深深地鑲嵌在太行山那古老而貧瘠的石壁上。

  Synopsis:There was an old,poor village called old well village deep in the taihang mountain,For years,generations dug wells for water,but there were only dry holes.Many villagers had lost their lives while digging hundreds of these dry wells,Finding no water at all.However,they still had hope.
  A young man named sun wangquan returned to the village,Inherited the will of his ancestors,And swore to dig a real well by his own knowledge.In order to accomplish this,He turned down Qiaoying.Who loved him very much,and,Against his own will,married a widow.
  Water finally filled the old well.Qiaoying left the village,But wangquan's heart,like a rock,Had been enchased in the old and arid cliff of the taihang mountain.
