Da chuan qi

The literal translation of the title of this film is: Great Clashes.

This movie is a prelude to Da Chong Zhuang (1992), and the social criticism behind the two are identical: rural population did not and could not enjoy the benefit reform has brought like the urban population and future reforms must pay more attention to rural area.

The difference between the two movie is that in Da Chong Zhuang (1992) the poor turned to drug trafficking to make big bucks while in this one, the protagonists survived the city in earning a living in legitimate way.
