This film, the final installment in a trilogy about China’s Cultural Revolution, tells the story of Deng Meijuan, a stubborn widow haunted by mysterious threats linked to past sacrifices during the Revolution. As unexplained phone calls and acts of vandalism escalate, Deng suspects that a young man connected to a tragic event from her past is behind the terror, symbolizing the long-lasting consequences of historical injustices. The movie’s carefully paced narrative and strong performances effectively convey the emotional weight of guilt and unresolved conflicts, though some plot points, like Deng’s unquestioning trust in the mysterious youth, strain believability.
