Changchun feels like a second home in The Farewell. The film captures family meals in crowded restaurants and quiet moments in familiar streets. The city shows the tension between tradition and modern life. Billi’s struggle to reconcile her Chinese roots with her American upbringing plays out against this backdrop. Changchun becomes more than just a setting. It becomes the heart of the story, a place where family bonds feel both fragile and unbreakable.
