Spanning half a century, from Harbin to Washington, from wartime chaos to modern city life, Looking Back follows the intertwined fates of generations of women.
Amid history and upheaval, lives collide: one aunt’s survival hangs in the balance, another falls victim to bandits, and sisters Li Ming and Li Wen face betrayal and life-changing choices.
Separated by circumstance, they forge their own paths—Li Ming building a career in Washington, Li Wen seeking a fresh start in Shenzhen.
A story of memory, resilience, and the choices that shape us, Looking Back is a testament to how the past informs the present, and how women, through time, learn to let go and begin again.
