<jats:p>Confucian filial piety was a basic social norm to consolidate family ties in pre-communist China. However, Confucianism was fiercely attacked by communist ideology under the Mao regime. What kind of principle have the Chinese people followed to deal with family relations in the post-Mao era? The Day the Sun Turned Cold (in Chinese tian guo ni zi ) provides an excellent case study in explaining these questions by demonstrating a complex murder story based on a real-life Chinese criminal case. This film won the Best Film and Best Director awards at the 1994 Tokyo Film Festival.</jats:p> |
