Qing wu da rao

In order to really understand why what described in this movie happens, one needs to know some contemporary Chinese social issues first.

The first thing to know is that unlike in west, elementary school teaching and nursing are not high paying jobs. In fact, these professions are near the bottom of the occupational list in terms of income. The second thing to know that high class resorts were prohibited in China for a long time due to political reasons, and did not appear until the era of reform, but for most Chinese, such luxury is out of reach, especially for those who are in the professions like the protagonists.

This is why when such luxury was finally within the reach of these people such as the protagonists, the ridiculous events depicted in the movies happened because these people had never been exposed to such luxury before. This movie provides a comical look at the adjustment at the beginning of the personal economic take-off.
