Peacock Chinese pinyin kng qu is a 2005 film directed by Gu Changwei, written by Li Qiang. This is Gus first film as director after a lengthy career as a cinematographer for some of Chinas top directors. The film premiered simultaneously in both China and in competition at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival, going on to receive Berlins Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear.
The story is set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in a small town in Mainland China. A middleaged couple has three children. The eldest son is obese and mentally challenged, a social outcast and is constantly teased by others. The second child, the daughter, is energetic and independent, and isnt afraid of doing anything to pursue her dreams or to survive. The youngest child is an introverted, quiet boy who is ashamed of his older brother and tries to break away from his familys misery.Breaking into three sections, each focusing on one of the siblings, Peacock allows us to look into the lives of ordinary Chinese people immediately after the Cultural Revolution. ........
