Why would this seemingly loving family “fake” a wedding?

And why do they appear so grim about it?

For the answer see The Farewell in theaters now or listen to writer/director Lulu Wang’s real-life story that inspired the film on a segment of This American Life

For another ‘faked’ Chinese wedding, check out award-winning director Ang Lee’s first feature film The Wedding Banquet (1993) from our collection.

And if these don’t sate your appetite for Chinese weddings, consider viewing, listening or reading the wildly popular Crazy Rich Asians available in our collection in DVD, eAudio and eBook formats.
