The story takes place in the mid-1980s in Shanghai, where a single, retired man in his sixties, Mr. Gu Lao-bo (played by Wu Ma), lives a quiet, lonely life in his old age. One day, his son calls from the U.S. and asks his young grandson Gu Ming (Huang Kunxuan) to come back to China to spend some time with his grandfather. Gu is overjoyed to bring his grandson, who is an American citizen, to spend his vacation with him.

Edit this section of the film evaluation

Chinese film "Shanghai Holiday" wonderful stills collection (8 pictures)

Ann Hui did not make this film into a comedy film or absurdity, but a serious realism color film, Li Pingbin's lens has a lot of realistic Shanghai alley streets, with his keen and delicate language of the camera to record the Shanghai holiday. He uses his sharp and delicate camera language to record the Shanghai of that year, and it seems so appropriate and real for him to tell this special story with a special complex that is both intimate and alienated from the mainland.
