SO LONG, MY SON is a Mandarin language drama following a family's struggle, over several decades, to overcome personal misfortune and wider social change.

Theme: The film explores the impact on a family of the death, by drowning, of their child. The mother is made infertile by, it is implied, a botched abortion. It is further implied that she attempts suicide when an adopted son runs away.

There is use of mild bad language ('bastard', 'ass'), as well as milder terms such as 'hell'. Characters smoke cigarettes.
