Some 75 miles east of Hong Kong, in China’s Guangdong province lies the coastal fishing village of Wukan.

There are few film genres as manipulative as the "cancer romancer." Unleashed on the world with 1970's mega-smash Love Story, starring Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw as a pair of star-crossed Harvardians whose nascent marriage is decimated by her terminal leukemia, this genre later flourished throughout the 2000s, with saccharine releases like Here on Earth, Sweet November, A Walk to Remember, P.S.
