Play about former soldier set to return to Beijing

Ku Pao-ming recalls how his family celebrated Spring Festival when he was a child.

His father would cook many delicious dishes and they would sit around the dining table remembering their ancestors. During mealtime on the eve of Chinese New Year, he would listen to his father's stories about their family, who lived in Shanghai before moving to Taiwan.

Ku's father was a Kuomintang soldier, who - along with thousands from the Nationalist force - retreated to Taiwan in 1949 at the end of the civil war.
