Culture resurgence

This movie made in the early stage of the Chinese reform in the early 1980's is important in its own way because it symbolize the resurgence of the traditional culture in China after the end of the Cultural Revolution.

Unlike most movies made in the early stage of the Chinese reform (in fact, the first stage of the Chinese reform, from 1980 until 1992), most of which concentrated on criticizing the dross in the traditional Chinese culture (as they rightfully should because such dross contributed to the occurring of the disastrous political movements such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution), this movie actually eulogize the virtue of the traditional culture.
