  This stunning documentary captures the unique life stories of veterans who are among some    500,000 soldiers who left their families and followed Chiang Kai-shek’s retreat to Taiwan in  1949, while in their early 20s or late teens. When the government finally lifted the ban on  private visits to China about 40 years later, they found themselves in an awkward limbo where  they could no longer adapt themselves to living in China, while putting down their roots in  Taiwan also proved to be challenging.
