Historical drama The Litchi Road with Lei Jia Yin, Yue Yun Peng, and Na Er Na Xi to air in June

The Litchi Road (长安的荔枝) is adapted from the novel written by Ma Bo Yong. Just to clear up some confusion, there’s a movie adaptation of the same novel featuring Da Peng as well (coming out to theaters in July).

Synopsis per Amazon: Li Shande was a petty official in the capital city Chang’an during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. One day he received a task that he should transport fresh litchi from Guangdong province to Chang’an before the birthday of Lady Yang. Litchi changed in color in one day, and for two days, its fragrance changed and its taste changed when it was kept for three days. But Guangdong was about 2000 kilometers. So it was an impossible mission for Li Shande to accomplish. But for the survival of his family, Li was determined to try his utmost. ‘Even if I fail, I want to know how far I am from the terminal right before I fall,’ he said. This book carries on Ma Boyong’s writing style of tension in time space, which let readers see the ways of survival of small potatoes during the turbulent time and also experienced the passionate striving with painstaking effort. It also has a map for the transportation of the litchi.

War film Our Time Will Come features Zhou Xun, Eddie Peng, Wallace Huo

What a casting and that is only the tip of the iceberg! In the veteran line-up, we have Tony Leung Ka Fai, Ray Lui, Jiang Wen Li, and Nina Paw! The movie marks the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China (after more than a century of British colonial rule) and it follows teacher-turned-guerilla-fighter Zhou Xun during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in the 1940s. How the youths struggle and fight in wartime resistance groups.

Adorable theme song for Chinese Ver. of Dad, Where Are We Going?

 photo Dad19.jpg

After listening to the theme song, it’s indeed very, very cute. I’m not sure how many kids/dads participated in the recording so I put down all five, which should be correct. If you’re looking for the full theme song, you’re in the right place as it was dropped 2 days ago. I watched titbits of episode 3 and Angela cracked me up when she tried to climb the sand hill. Seems like her dad needs to learn the ways of his daughter. Isn’t the cookie cutter resemblance between the kids and the dads amazing? I look nothing like my parents. So… *whistles*

Check out the stills and music video after the cut.
