Screening: My Kingdom (CAFF 2011)
The 2011 Chinese American Film Festival presents a screening of My Kingdom.
At the end of Qing Dynasty, Meng Family was annihilated by the Regent. Teenager Meng Erkui was saved by master Yu Shengying and his disciple Guan Yilong and survived the disaster. Yu took Meng Erkui under his wings. Meng Erkui and Guan Yilong practiced opera and martial arts on a daily basis, therefore forging a tight brotherhood. When the gold plate awarded by the Regent was taken away by martial art master Yue Jiangtian from Shanghai, the two brothers swore vengeance. After Qing Dynasty collapsed and the Republic of China was founded, the two brothers went to Shanghai , challenged Yue for the plate and won. Yue Jiangtian hanged himself out of shame, leaving his female disciple Xi Mulan, who was forced to combine her Beijing Opera trope with the two brothers to survive. It was the beginning of a tangled story between Xi Mulan and the two brothers concerning love, desire, deceit and betrayal.
