Wubly rating 6.5

In Lei Gu Town in Sichuan, Xu who lost his wife during the 2008 earthquake is ready to get married again. His hesitation arises when he sees that his teenage daughter Shan is not yet ready to move on. Shan goes for a walk to landslide dam for a moment of solitude. The dam was formed when landslide debris fell and destroyed a whole village. It is an aftermath of the quake, yet it is at the same time a beautiful scenery. Perhaps not all things brought by a disaster are negative, Shan wonders.
