Based on real events, The
Children of Huang Shi is a sweeping but intimate story set
against war-torn China in the 1930’s. The film centers on a young
English journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an American nurse (Radha
Mitchell) and the leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun Fat) who
meet in desperate and unexpected circumstances. Together they
rescue 60 orphaned children, leading them on an extraordinary journey
across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered
mountains and an unforgiving desert. Along the way they discover the
true meaning of love, responsibility and courage.
