  • 23 days ago
Hachiko is a 2023 Chinese love-bond melodrama directed by Xu Ang (徐昂). This film is adapted from the original script "Hachiko" by Kaneto Shindo.

It tells a touching story about a loyal dog named Ba Tong (Hachiko) who waited for the return of his owner for ten years even after his owner's death.

University professor Chen Jing Xiu (冯小刚 Feng Xiao Gang) meets a puppy on the street and secretly takes it home out of pity. However, his wife Li Jia Zhen (陳冲 Joan Chen Chong) blows up at the "family meeting" and scolds him for violating their agreement before marriage to not have dogs at home.

Given that their son Chen Xin Qiao (白举纲 Bai Jugang) and daughter Chen Xiao Zhou (黄楚桐 Huang Chu Tong) keep adding oil to the fire, the puppy seems to have become the source of a lot of trouble in the family. Nonetheless, Ba Tong also opens doors to a joyful story between the Chen family and their beloved canine.
