See Lotus Again

On the eve of the return of Macau in 1999, sculptor Gu Songlin went to Macau to collect the sculpture "The Flourishing Lotus" presented by the Central Government to the Macao Special Administrative Region, and became a close friend with Liao Jichang, the head of the Liao Ji Wood Sculpture Store. Ten years later, "Wood Carving-Idol Carving" became the first project in Macau to receive the honor of "National Intangible Cultural Heritage".

Directed by Yuan Wei, See Lotus Again leans on a strong ensemble — Yang Xuchen, Lui Hei, Yang Lei — 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 drama titles of 2019.
