''Taipei Story'' (青梅竹馬) is a 1985 film by Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang. The film stars Yang's fellow filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien, and singer Tsai Chin, who Yang subsequently married. It is one of the earliest films of the New Taiwan Cinema. ==Synopsis== ''Taipei Story'' concerns a young woman (Tsai Chin) urgently seeking to navigate the maze of contemporary Taipei, and find a future. She hopes that her boyfriend Lung (Hou Hsiao-hsien) is the key to the future, but Lung is stuck in a past that combines baseball and traditional loyalty that leads him to squander his nest egg bailing her father out of financial trouble. The film "displays Yang's uncompromising critique of the middle-class with its dissection of its heroine's emotional fragility, vainly disguised behind the sunglasses she sports day and night. As she flees the past, her boyfriend idealistically clings to it, a Confucian rigidity toward which Yang bears still less patience." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taipei Story」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
