Ma Linsheng (played by Feng Xiaogang), who raises his son alone, is the chairman of a union in a certain organization. He puts on airs and considers himself aloof, being arrogant at home. He tries to behave like a proper father in front of his son, Ma Che. However, all this does not have any substantial effect apart from making him feel good about himself. His strict family education does not make his son submit, and Ma Che consistently rebels against him. At school, he clashes with teachers and bullies classmates, getting called in for parent meetings multiple times, much to Ma Linsheng's annoyance. After a failed attempt at violent parenting, he tries every means to improve his relationship with his son, but he painfully realizes that the gap between them is growing wider… This film is adapted by Wang Shuo from his early novel "I Am Your Father" and won the Best Film Award, the Youth Jury Award, and a Special Mention for the Don Quixote Award at the 2000 Locarno International Film Festival.
