Okay, a while back, I saw a film on IFC. It was incredible, but for the life of me, I cannot recall the title.
It was about a rich family in China, and the wife (Alian) finds another bride for her husband, named Chu Mai. Also, there is a missionary priest there, who teaches the son of the family, and forms a bond with Alian.
Later the second wife, Chu Mai, tries to hang herself, and she runs off with the son to join the Communist Army. The movie ends with the priest and Alian having sex, the priest dying, and Alian opening an orphanage for children who lost family in the war. It's making me insane, I hope someone can help.

ah.. i saw that the other day actually and i can't remember the name of it myself, dont hold it
against me if i'm wrong but i think it's
called "pavilion of women"....but just an educated guess..does it ring a bell?
Sounds like a good movie, until you told the ending
It's called "Pavilion of Women" based on a book by Pearl S. Buck who wrote a lot of good books about China.
