This movie is different than most other Chinese movies made in the 1980's that advocate reform because all others only concentrated on the struggle and the success of the reform.
This movie, however, gives an accurate depiction of the fact that not every reform attempt is successful, and in the painful transition, there are more failures at the beginning than successes.
Another unique point this movie made was that the impact of reform is not merely economical, it is social as well. The clashes between the old and the new could tear family apart, as this movie has depicted, and the new families can be born in the new era as well.

The film is a masterpiece that honestly depicted the economical and cultural shocks that impacted the families in the remote region of China. The impact is not only financial, but also social and families broke apart and new one created as result. The road to the success is not always smooth, just as in life.
