In the award-winning Chinese film Nuan, a simple married woman with a bum leg is tempted by a man who is not her husband. While encouraged by her husband to begin anew with the man, who offers her much more than he can, she sticks with her humble and selfless husband. The plot of Nuan was front and center at Tuesday's 2005 China Global Conference in Los Angeles. Except that one of the filmmakers, Dong Fan, president of Beijing Aureape Ocean ARK, also told of what the script called for before Chinese government censors got a hold of it. Nuan was supposed to be a half-blind woman married to a mute, and the couple had four mute children. For the chance to give birth to a child who could actually speak to her, she sought an extramarital affair. Chinese censors didn't like the idea of portraying a woman with only one good eye, so instead she was given a bad leg. They also didn't like that she bucked government sanctions and had more than one child, so it was changed to a single child who was no longer mute. And of course the extramarital affair was out of the question.
