Short description

Mr. Chu is an elderly widower who teaches tai chi chuan in Beijing. He moves to America to live with his son's family, but finds the cultural adjustment difficult. Since his daughter-in-law is a white woman who does not speak Chinese, Mr. Chu's son, Alex, must mediate.

What's left behind the scenes

“Pushing hands” is the primary training method in Taijiquan, designed to develop sensitivity, “rooting,” and internal power. Tui-shou is also a form of wrestling within the Chinese martial arts.
