Empire of Silver - 白银帝国 [2009]

The film, adapted from a romance trilogy "Valley of Silver," tells the story of the prosperous Kang family of bankers in Shanxi. The family ran the "Wall Street" of late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and early Republic of China and controlled the nation's finances by managing money transfers and funds. Unfortunately, the Wall Street parallel is not well developed.

The family goes through the Boxer Uprising. The Qing Dynasty was greatly weakened, and was eventually overthrown by the 1911 revolution.

The patriarch's concept of business management and that of his third son, wholly unfit for business, are world's apart and reflect the dramatic changes in Chinese society. The old man is determined to turn his son into a ruthless businessman in his own mold, but the son resists his father's authoritarian style and tyrannical principles.

The tension between the two men is heightened by the son's love for his beautiful young stepmother, his first and only love before his father stole her. To avoid emotional conflict, the woman flees, alone, to America.

Confronting social turmoil and the decline of the family business, the son must decide whether to follow his father's path or make his own way in life.
