Watch Long Day's Journey Into Night (Diqiu zuihou de yewan) [Sub: Eng]
It is a journey that changes everything with a guy called Luo Hongwu. This guy decided to return to Kaili. This place is the hometown from which he fled 12 years earlier. There are a lot of memories of an enigmatic and beautiful a woman whom he loved and has never been able to forget. It seems that the life is bad without her, so Luo Hongwu begins his search for her for a journey that will be different in his life.

There is some satisfaction that comes in seeing motifs and symbols established within the first part of Long Day's Journey Into Night as they re-emerge in the galvanizing high-wire act performance of the second.
Long Day's Journey Into Night has been declared a masterpiece before most audiences have had a chance to see it, but that does disservice to Bi Gan's risk-taking in what's only his second feature.
