- Canton Elegy is a love story, an adventure story & an intimate portrait of a family bound together by devotion as they struggle to survive. With his wife Belle & their four young children, Stephen Jin-Nom Lee braves famine & flood, corruption & the devastation of war, to make a home & a life for the ones he holds dear. From the 300-mile journey Belle undertakes on foot when she & the children are trapped behind enemy lines in Hong Kong, to the night when he stands at his window watching Canton burn, Stephen observes his world with an artist`s sensibility & tells the family`s story with great tenderness
