Directed by Zhang Yimou, written by Xiao Kefan, Zhou Xiaofeng and Yin Lichuan, produced by Bian Tiejun.
Average viewer score of 7.8/10 from 162 ratings.
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.
