In 2009, Liu Jiayin directed a sequel to Oxhide, entitled Oxhide II. Again taking her family as the film's subject, Liu takes a simple premise of a family making dumplings and uses it as the film's primary narrative device. The film premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival as part of its Directors Fortnight program.[4]
