The Photo from 1977
Synopsis
In 1977, amidst election turmoil in Zhongli, Taiwan, photographer Xianying met Kim Ho-hee, a Taekwondo coach from Korea. Unable to speak Chinese, Kim relied on his friend Hongguo to communicate. The three became close, exploring the excitement of the election together. Kim encouraged Xianying to enter a photography contest in Hong Kong and invited her to Hehuanshan to see the snowy landscapes, but Xianying hesitated, uncertain about their future. On her birthday, Xianying got lost while trying to meet Kim at Hehuanshan, and Hongguo reassured her. Much like the elusive snow, their cross-cultural romance felt impossible to grasp. As election tensions rose, a misunderstanding during the protests led to Hongguo's death, separating Xianying and Kim. A year later, Xianying received photos and a tape from Kim, who had died leading a student movement in Korea. Now, despite the loss, Xianying reflects on the memories and the love that shaped her.
