About Jesus in Nanking (China 1913)
Taiwanese director Jo Jo Wang's 1985 adaptation of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's short story "The Christ of Nanking". Taiwan's Government Information Office demanded cuts to the erotic scenes, objected to the poster (depicting lead actress Lu Hsiao-fen crucified nude), and demanded a change of the Chinese title.
Directed by Wang Chu-Chin, Jesus in Nanking (China 1913) leans on a strong ensemble — Lu Hsiao-Fen, Liu Ying, Cui Tian-lu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1985.
