Renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou's latest film, Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, held a trial premiere in the southern city of Guangzhou on December 11th. Set in the 1920s, Riding alone for Thousands of Miles tells a story of a Japanese man (Ken Takakura), accompanies his dying son to learn the local opera in China' s Yunnan, where they meet a local girl. The girl was played by Jiang Wen, a graduate student from Beijing Film Academy. Literally, Qian Li Zou Dan Ji means "lone ride over a thousand lis" (1 "li" equals to 0.31 mile). Just like the title of Zhang' s last film, Shi Mian Mai Fu (English title: House Of Flying Daggers), which means "ambushed from ten sides" , Qian Li Zou Dan Ji has a metaphor meaning as well. The film is budgeted at US $ 7.2 million, much smaller than Zhang' s last two films, Hero and House Of Flying Daggers. Veteran Japanese actor Ken Takakura, 74, plays a Japanese fisherman who takes his son, dying of cancer, to Yunnan Province in southwest China to search for the secret behind a local opera play. Actor Kiichi Nakai plays the son. The film debuted in China as political and historical issues such as Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi' s controversial visits to the war-related Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo arise.
