China Behind (Chinese: 再見中國) is a 1974 Hong Kong drama film, directed by Tang Shu Shuen and Cheuk Pak-Tong. The film painted a bleak portrait of communist China and the desire to escape, yielding a thirteen-year ban by British colonial authorities, that was lifted in 1987.
The film was shot in Taiwan with official authorization, and the cinematography was done by renowned Taiwanese photographer Chang Chao-Tang (張照堂).
Synopsis
The plot concerns four college students seeking escape to Hong Kong at the start of the 1966 Maoist Cultural Revolution in Mainland China.
