Grandmother's Hairpin 銀簪子 (2000)

The Best Documentary of the Year 2000


Director: Chu-Chen Hsiao 蕭菊貞
Length: 90 mins
Year: 2000

Storyline:


In 1949, the Nationalist Government had lost the civil war against the Chinese Communists and retreated to Taiwan with about 600,000 soldiers. My father was one of them. Originally, the soldiers believed they would soon be returning to their homeland. But the years passed, and they would have to wait until 1987, when the government finally lifted the ban on private visits to China. These vicissitudes have put the war veterans in a awkward position—China no longer feels like home, yet establishing a family and pitting down roots in Taiwan have proved to be challenging. It was my father’s memory of his mother’s silver hairpin that led me into his world and the life stories of the old veterans.

民國三十八年前後,國民政府從大陸撤退來台,帶了六十萬大軍,他們以為不久之後就可以反攻大陸回家了,沒想到一待四十年,兩岸才開放。於是,這群老兵成為台灣與大陸間最尷尬的一群人!家,歸不得,不可求。我的父親也是老兵。奶奶的一支銀簪子,讓婐走進了父親的世界,和許多老兵伯伯們的深深思念。
