Tang Xiaoyan in "Fortune Telling" returns to her hometown in Northeast China to celebrate the New Year. Her father Tang Xixin (nicknamed Old Tangtou) is also a man with stories: he was punished by school in Manchukuo in his childhood, his unwilling marriage, his failure to quit the party, and his life that was still intact. This copy of the "Party Constitution" and the portraits of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist history hanging all over the room. All winter long. The director recorded that at the age of 80, he still had an amazing memory and talked about all kinds of trivial things. Personal unofficial history is woven in the context of larger history, making it both vivid and energetic.
