The Vienna Center for Taiwan Studies (VCTS) invites you to join the screening of “The Time to Live and the Time to Die”, a mostly autobiographical film by one of Taiwan’s most famous film makers. Spanning the years 1947 to 1965, it tells the story of young Ah Ha’s (A Hsiao’s) childhood and adolescence and the fate of his Hakka family after migration to southern rural Taiwan. Ah Ha’s coming of age experience is contrasted with his grand-/parent’s struggles to adapt to a life full of hardship in a new environment.
