The Wall

In the early 1950s, even the small villages in Taiwan were bathed in the atmosphere of White Terror. It was a difficult time for all. There was a beautiful young woman called A Zhen. She always felt that there was something weird in her house since she got married to her husband, A Yi, the village glassblower. A Zhen was very curious about the mystery surrounding the wall in her house. So, one day, she decided to investigate the real secret behind the wall. Apparently, there was a Japanese man called Shouhei Kimura whom her husband respected as a master. Kimura came to Taiwan before the Pacific War to advocate the socialist revolution. Kimura enlightened A Yi, who had no idea about the world, the age and the class. A Yi followed Kimura where ever he went and worshiped him like a God. To prevent Kimura from being caught by the authorities, A Yi built a wall within his house and let Kimura stay to protect him. Kimura could only sense the changes around the outside world through the fissure of the wall.
