My American Grandson

Ku is a retired musician. He lives a dull but routine life. Ku's son and daughter-in-law are studying in the United States. For a short term research in East Germany, they send their son to live with his grandpa. It is now the proudest moment of Ku. Unexpectedly, he could not satisfy the grandchild's "American standard". He even criticises the "great fatherland" like a foreigner does. Not beyond Ku's anticipation, his grandson escapes, leaving Ku in deep remorse. After all, the grandson back home. He seems learnt something from the abscond. As Ku's grandson is called back to the United States, Ku realizes only his grandson doesn't want to depart with. Ku generously accepts the fate. Anyway, he won't feel lonely as Shanghai is still Shanghai.
