Keep On Walking... Keep on Living...
Based on a novel by LIU Zhenyun, BACK TO 1942 chronicles the human drama as a devastating famine struck Henan Province in 1942 - a time when China was already at war with and partially occupied by Japan.
Amidst the chaos of a famine-stricken Nation at war, Landlord Fan (Zhang Guoli) finds himself leaving his beloved Henan province, with his daughter (Fiona Wang), to join the millions of refugees travelling on foot to the Shaanxi province - where they have traditionally sought refuge in times of crisis. It is here that they find travelling companions in American Journalist Theodore White (Adrien Brody), Chef-turned-Judge Ola Ma (Fan Wei), and Father Simeone (Zhang Hanyu), who is losing his faith in God and turns to pragmatic Italian Priest Thoman Megan (Tim Robbins) for advice.
As many weeks, social conflicts and desperate acts pass, White publishes a scathing report on the extent of the famine in Time Magazine. The Chinese Generalissimo is so embarassed he orders a retreat, leaving the amassed Japanese army in complete confusion. Then the Japanese make a completely unexpected move: they start feeding the famished population...
