Ono, who interrupted his studies and returned to China for a year in 1979, turned to his "creditor" China Film Group because he was owed royalties. Soon after, 29-year-old Ono also joined China Film and Television and became Wu Nianzhen’s colleague... How can two literary youths who are full of ideals about Taiwan and movies change anything in this conservative and rigid system?
