Our screening on 8 September will be introduced by Tom Cunliffe (UCL).
Having completed junior high education, Wan leaves his hometown for Taipei City. With him is Huen, the girl he grew up with. In Taipei, they lead a very hard, but happy life. Then, Wan is drafted into military service. On the eve of his departure, Huen gives him 1,096 self-addressed and postal stamped envelopes, hoping that Wan will write to her every day during his three-year military service period.
Based on the personal experience of Wu Nien-jen, the co-writer of the film, Dust in the Wind is a nostalgic portrayal of the changing Taiwan of the early 1970s
