The Farewell true story reveals that Awkwafina's character in the movie, Billi, is based on writer/director Lulu Wang herself. Wang's own "Nai Nai," or grandmother in Chinese, was diagnosed with cancer and her family decided to keep the diagnosis from her. Wang first told the story on an April 2016 episode of This American Life, which piqued the in...
Lulu Wang's Nai Nai was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2013. Rather than revealing the news directly to Wang's 80-year-old grandmother, doctors instead told her grandmother's sister (Wang's Great-Aunt Hong Lu) the news, who passed it along to the family. The family got a second opinion, and then a third. All revealed the same prognosis.
Wang's mother told her over the phone, not in person like in the movie. During the conversation, her mother told her that she would not be permitted to tell her grandma the truth, no matter how much she thought it was the right thing to do. -This American Life
All of the doctors predicted that Lulu Wang's Nai Nai had three months left to live after the stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis in 2013. However, the true story behind The Farewell revealed that Lulu Wang's grandma was still alive when the movie was released in 2019. "Six years after her diagnosis, Nai Nai is still with us," reads a caption at the end ...
Yes. As stated in the movie, Chinese law allows keeping a prognosis from a family member, something that is both unheard of and illegal in the United States. As stated in the film, it is believed in the East that a person's life is part of a whole (the family), instead of solely belonging to oneself. It's true that doctors often break bad news to m...
No. Lulu Wang's Nai Nai did join the Chinese Army at age 14 to escape an arranged marriage. She fought on the side of the Communist Party against the Nationalists during the Chinese Revolution. Nai Nai does have a limp in real life, but it wasn't from being shot, which Lulu admits is fiction. Instead, it was from marching across China when she was ...
Yes. While researching The Farewell true story, we learned that writer/director Lulu Wang shot on location in her grandmother's neighborhood in her family's hometown of Changchun, China. She also shot the film largely in Mandarin Chinese. "[The studios] wanted it all in English, or as a very broad comedy," she told the Seattle Times. "I thought, if...
Writer/Director Lulu Wang says that the character Billi (played by Crazy Rich Asians' Awkwafina) is only semi-autobiographical. Like Wang herself had been, Billi is a struggling artist living in New York. While shopping around the idea for the movie, Wang says that a lot of companies wanted her to make the Billi character the bride, in addition to ...
Yes. It's something that Wang wonders. After all, her grandmother had lied to her grandfather when he was diagnosed with liver cancer when Wang was 10-years-old. Her grandmother finally told him the truth in the hospital three days before he died. However, Wang's father believes that he knew he was dying. In addition, Wang's grandmother had been di...
