He is back. The one who used to explore Sirius and travel around the world like the ancient Chinese traveler Hsu Xia-ke; the crane cremator with flaming eyes is back. He said that Xizi Bay would be his final resting place. The Untrammeled Traveler follows the footsteps of Mr. and Mrs. Yu, exploring the poet’s nostalgia, literary inspiration, writing style and interaction with the literary circle. How he lived through those days when Western and Chinese thoughts were drastically exchanged and found his own voice is also seen in the film. His life consists of influential thoughts and vigorous sentences, and Yu Guang-zhong chose to settle in Xizi Bay, on the south of the island, with his wife, accompanying each other in peace.
