Aiguo Ying
Author / Co-Writer
A Chinese born author living in the US.. "When Dan approached me to join him in crafting a captivating movie script centered around the compelling dynamics between a Chinese woman and a Western man, I embraced the opportunity without hesitation.
And so, our remarkable journey began. It was a voyage not only for Rulan as she embarked on a poignant return to her ancestral village, delving into her roots, past, and future, but also a transformative odyssey for Adam, as he unravels the depths of jewish values, love, maturity, and personal responsibility. As we embarked on this creative expedition,
Dan and I discovered profound aspects of ourselves, our loved ones and our friends, weaving them intricately into the tapestry of our script. Throughout the collaboration, Dan and I effortlessly harmonized in every aspect of the process, forming a synergy that allowed a shared vision to flourish.
