Synopsis
LI was born in Hebei Province in China, and the war brought him to Taiwan where he has spent six decades. LI never returns to his hometown, but has revisited it countless times in his dreams. Whenever he dreamed of it, he saw the flow of blood all over the place. For LI, joining the army was never about any political beliefs but to feed himself. Thus he praised whoever fed him.
At the age of sixty, he separated from his wife and children. Whenever he looks at himself in the mirror, he cannot bear to his hair turn grey. Therefore he puts on a black wig and a women’s dress, trying to make up for lost time when he was young. While doing so, he has no idea how his eventful life will come to an end…
