2002年,韓培印的兒子勝利考上了西安一所大學,從農村來到城市。為了讓勝利上學,老韓變賣了家裏所有值錢的東西,到西安打工,為兒子解決大學的生活費和來年的學費。做了一輩子農民的老韓堅信知識會改變命運,他樂觀地盼望著,兒子上了大學,將來一定會有出息。
勝利面臨畢業,性格內向的他面對強大的就業壓力,感覺這個城市越來越遠,上過大學的他很可能賺得比父親還要少。
有一個本子被老韓隨身裝了好幾年,裏面記滿了三年來十元、二十元的借款記錄,以及他對兒子勝利的期望:“我兒勝利要在2013前後,也就是父親的60歲前後,咱們全家到北京好好的玩幾天,那時候咱們大家都很有錢……”
In China, HAN has sold off all the family’s home valuables and now works in Xi an city to make money for his son to go to college. HAN firmly believes that knowledge has power to change their destiny. “Around 2013 or so, roughly my sixties, Sheng-li will take our family to Beijing for a sightseeing visit. We will have plenty of money by then…”

大家一定还记得2002年斯导给大家带来的《兄弟连》(Band of brothers),国内的美剧迷也因此而迅速扩充。时隔三年,斯导带领麾下的梦工场与TNT电视网合作,再度推出西部史诗巨作《Into the west》(《西部风云》)
不同于以往传统的西部片只从白人殖民者的视角来刻画西部的开拓史,从《辛德勒名单》开始一直追求客观公正再现历史的斯导在这部《Into the west》中,从白人移民和北美本土印第安人两个不同家庭的视角来书写这段宏伟的史诗。两种截然不同的文化冲突和交流、融合,移民者建设新家园的艰辛,淘金者的暴富欲望都是此剧要表现的主题。一个是从弗吉尼亚州驾着牛车迁徙而来的车匠一家,一个是来自lakota部落的印第安人家庭,他们将一起见证美国西部史上风情诗画与血雨腥风。当然,爱情、亲情、友情绝对是任何佳作中永远也不会缺少的主题
和《兄弟连》一样,《Into the west》也是一部短剧(Mini Series),只有6集,共12小时
