    Great work advocating personal liberalization and reform

    The literal translation of the title of this film is: The Smile of the Bitter Person.

    This movie made in the first year of the reform in China is a great advocate of reform and personal liberalization via its accurate depiction of the trauma left by the Cultural Revolution, and the success of healing a tiny part of the trauma via the reform introduced.
