After making several trendy martial arts movies, Yueh finally went back to family drama. In the name of free love, a couple eloped to a small town away from the family and started their own of five kids. Sadly, both succumbed to hard life. Similar to Bitter Sweet, the family value and parental love was in the core of the movie, with the emphasis on how the new generation learning to be independent. The eldest son tried to be on his own, so failing and getting up was unavoidable. It was the price of growing up and a lesson of courage. The Younger Generation was about endurance in a simple and poor town, a complete opposite of eyecandy flicks popular in the late 60s in Hong Kong. Later he remade his own Bitter Sweet but Shaws Brother did not distribute it in Hong Kong. This movie was one of the gems in Yueh’s latter career.
