The chaotic growth of skin children

The unique perspective of the film takes us to show the ups and downs of the Americans living in Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War in China. The peaceful trend in the context of China has laid the foundation for the fate of the little protagonist. The reason why he is called "Piwa" is always due to his nature, playful, curious, and smooth... The appearance of all these, for him Destiny made a big change, and of course it also drove the progress of the plot. The experience of being separated from my parents is a process of transformation. Dealing with adults, dealing with Japanese people... are all cultivated through repeated setbacks. In this process, knowing how to advance and retreat and know how to surrender saves a lot of trouble. A child who grows tenaciously in the face of adversity is tired and recovers quickly. The fragments of those days are both heart-wrenching and joyful. Happy ending. The children after the wind and frost are almost sluggish, when they meet their parents.

Empire of the Sun quotes

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: [title card] In 1941 China and Japan had been in a state of undeclared war for four years. A Japanese army of occupation was in control of much of the countryside and many towns and cities. In Shanghai thousands of Westerners, protected by the diplomatic security of the International Settlement, continued to live as they had lived since the British came here in the 19th century and built in the image of their own country... built banking houses, hotels, offices, churches and homes that might have been uprooted from Liverpool or Surrey. Now their time was running out. Outside Shanghai the Japanese dug in and waited... for Pearl Harbor.
