Description:
The literary Zhu family, pasted together from manuscript paper, nurtured legendary sisters obsessed with words — Zhu Tian-Wen and Zhu Tian-Xin. Though the sisters grow from the same root, each conquers territory in the grid of manuscript paper by her own strength, building a powerful literary kingdom of distinct style.
Legendary sisters of the literary world portray life along different paths. The elder, Zhu Tian-Wen, combines quiet restraint with highly acute perception, inherits the writing attitude of her father Zhu Xi-Ning, constantly tests the renewal and possibilities of style, and is a prophetess and witch who turns words into gold; after publishing "The Story of Xiao Bi" she met director Hou Hsiao-Hsien and collaborated with him for years, literary creation drew her into a second life… Show more in film, and her screenplays repeatedly reached the Golden Horse Awards and major international film festivals. The younger, Zhu Tian-Xin, is full of chivalrous spirit, romantic and forthright; "Song of Striking the Earth," written in high school, became a must-read declaration of freedom for a generation of youth, igniting a reading craze like a prairie fire; under her pen are impressions from wandering and observing city streets and alleys, as well as themes of participation in social movements and ethnic identity. Though time washes away history, her memory is bright, and all she has carved with her pen counts.
"I Remember" is directed by novelist Lin Jun-Ying, who from the intimate perspective of a longtime friend records the growth trajectory of the Zhu sisters, starting from the home beneath the osmanthus tree as the scene of memory, where the two sisters in their youth studied under Hu Lan-Cheng and, befriending talented peers, founded the journal "San San." The camera follows their footsteps, visits the old home in the Fengshan military dependents' village, crosses the sea to pay respects at Hu's grave in Tokyo, shares in laughter their views on each other's works, and records their figures weaving through streets and alleys caring for stray cats. In the film the sisters reveal their hearts without reservation, showing that behind their literary achievements lies a life as casual, warm, and three-dimensional as anyone else's.
