What happens
Descendants of Confucius (originaltittel: Que li ren jia) er en kinesisk dramafilm fra 1992 regissert av Wu Yigong. Filmen handler om motsetningene og de følelsesmessige forviklingene til tre generasjoner i Kong-familien som sitter fast i tradisjoner fordi deres etternavn er antatt å nedstamme i direkte linje fra filosofen Konfucius. Konfliktene kommer særlig til syne når reformens tidevann feier over Kina. En ledende rolle spilles av Zhu Xu. Den ble kåret til beste film ved Huabiao Awards. Filmen er også kjent under den engelske tittelen A Confucius Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
