Getting Home

Getting Home (simplified Chinese: 落叶归根; traditional Chinese: 落葉歸根; pinyin: Lùo yè gūi gēn) is a 2007 Chinese comedy/drama film directed by Zhang Yang and starring Chinese comedian Zhao Benshan. It is episodic and follows two workers in their 50s, Zhao (Zhao Benshan) and Liu (Hong Qiwen). The film opens when Liu unexpectedly dies after a night of drinking and Zhao decides to fulfill a promise to his friend to get him home, beginning a long odyssey from Shenzhen to Chongqing with Liu's corpse on his back. Along the way, Zhao meets a variety of figures, played by several of China's better known character actors.

Getting Home is Zhang Yang's fifth feature film. It was produced by Filmko Entertainment of Hong Kong and the Beijing Jinqianshengshi Culture Media company of the People's Republic of China. International sales and distribution was by Fortissimo Films out of Amsterdam.

Getting Home's original title derives from a Chinese proverb meaning "A falling leaf returns to its roots." It is apparently based on a true story.

Guiding Me

by: Tantric

Hand on the ground,
foot in the grave,
hand on the ground,
foot in the grave
Falling from grace and you're going under,
back in your face, so you can see your blunder
If you disappear no one will come to find you,
the face in the mirror will be the one to remind you
_You are what you avoid, so easily annoyed,
you ask for way too much so you can fill the void,
of what you refuse to believe,
Can't touch or see,
I know there's something guiding me through this,
guiding me through this
Don't be afraid 'cause he stands beside you,
lost and alone he will be there to guide you,
everyone has felt the way that you do,
don't worry now 'cause everything will come through,
_[Chorus Repeat 2x]
