PLEASE REMEMBER ME
我只认识你 CHINA, 2015 DIR ZHAO QING 78 MINS IN MANDARIN AND DIALECT WITH CHINESE AND ENGLISH SUBTITLES DOCUMENTARY
A moving and humanistic documentary following an elderly couple struggling with Alzheimer’s disease.
Zhao Qing ‘s moving doc follows an elderly couple, the 86 years old Feng and the 85 years old Fang, who go out everyday hand in hand to practice Tai Chi and to dine at a nearby canteen. Hardly anybody could tell that Fang has had Alzheimer’s disease for almost 10 years. She has forgotten almost everyone but firmly believes that Feng is the one she is going to spend the rest of her life with. When Feng met Fang and got married in the 1960s, little did they know that after growing up with the 16 years of wartime, they would have to suffer through the Cultural Revolution, Feng being denounced as a traitor and anti-revolutionist. In the years when many divorced their spouses in order for self-protection, Fang chose to stick by him. She begged everyone to prove his innocence and finally brought him back home. Living alone with an Alzheimer patient is hard enough, yet Feng’s health declines too. In July, 2013, Feng was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the man who went through a life of hardship with an upbeat spirit finally bursts into tears.
