Overview

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shande, a petty official in Chang’an, was suddenly given a task to bring fresh lychees from Lingnan. The lychee is perishable, and becomes tasteless three days after it leaves the branch, and Lingnan is more than 5,000 miles away from Chang’an, so this is an impossible task. But for the sake of his wife and daughter at home, Li Shande was determined to give it a try.

Viewing Notes

Fun adventure for 3/4 but has a few too many endings and really just drags at the end. Needed way more Yang Mi, relegated to the thankless wife role. Not a fan of mean Andy Lau. He’s better as a good guy.

Really had me wondering how I was able to buy lychee fruit at my local market all those years in the Chicago area.
