One of the really neat things I have observed about Zhang Yimou's use of hidden symbolism in this film is the fact that Di's home setting shows two posters of the chinese version of the Titanic movie neatly tacked up on the wall.
If you recall that movie, it is about an old woman recalling her first love, which is EXACTLY what The Road Home is about! Yimou is simply brilliant.
