Like A Rolling Stone

Lichuan YIN / Features / China / Chinese / 01:52 / 2024

The naïve and romantic Li Hong has had many dreams in her life, longing for college when she was 18, for love when she was 25, and for traveling at the age of 45. …… But for the sake of those things that are “more important to other people,” she can only wait and wait again and again and again and again and again and again and again. At 50, she is determined not to wait any longer and to live a different life!


Director Lichuan Yin is also a poet and writer. Since 2006, she has written and directed numerous films, including The Park (2007) and Knitting (2008), which were selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, among others. Her latest film, Like a Rolling Stone, explores the struggles of Chinese women who challenge the patriarchal structure of traditional families in pursuit of self-realization. The film has deeply resonated with Chinese female audiences for its profound reflection on social realities and has already grossed over $14 million at the box office.
