Interesting facts
Farewell China is a 1990 Hong Kong drama adventure film written and directed by Clara Law and produced by Teddy Robin. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung Ka-fai star as Chinese immigrants in New York City.
Production
The film was written and directed by Clara Law and produced by Teddy Robin. Production began on the heels of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, which prompted Law to make the film an "allegory of national suffering". The Statue of Liberty replica in the film's denouement, for instance, evokes the Tiananmen protests' Goddess of Democracy. Law herself described Farewell China as "part naturalistic and part fantasy".
