Final Assignment Anthology - Revised Eat Drink Man Woman Opening Scene Script



It’s a typical Chinese Sunday in the year of 1994. The sun rises, the trees sway in the wind and the birds beginning to chirp softly as if signing a sweet melody to begin a beautiful morning day. The world is at peace. Everything is serene. Everything is perfect. The Earth feels warm and happy. For a typical Chinese man or woman, the day immediately starts early. The chopping of food, and the slight pitter patter of the chef beginning to catch a rhythmic flow of his daily task can be heard from the kitchen.

Here you can see Chef Chu, a widower with three children, take on his daily task of making the daily meals for his family. He jumps starts his day in order to prepare his grand feast, a traditional dinner which is held every Sunday.

As a chef, he upholds the firm belief of everything being made by hand to ensure the freshness and the utmost success of the meal. Nothing is ever premade. All the meat and ingredients are found on his farm to uphold the idea of growing what you eat. Some of the traditional Chinese dishes he will make are fried fish, bbq duck, steamed pork belly, stir fried squid, and fish hot pot. Later in the evening he will gather with his family and they will feast on this meal.
