    A very sweet and sad tale based on one of the many stories from Cultural Revolution. It feels personal since the heroine claims that she wants to be a writer, and at the end of the film she goes abroad to study. Coincidentally, the author is a Chinese (American) living in Florida who seems to know exactly how it felt living under Mao Tse Tung. It was brilliantly translated to film by the accomplished Zhang Yimou....
