Let's make something clear, the love of the actress and the director does not mean the love of this movie, which is a mouthpiece of political propaganda.
However, I understand that it was the era before the reform in China had even started and this movie was made the year after the end of the Cultural Revolution, and the curse of that disaster is still dominating the daily life of everyone, and the film crew had to be more careful by playing safe. This film should be treated as those political propaganda Mr. Jin Xie was forced to make during the Cultural Revolution.
However, Ms Joan Chen is worth watching as a teen ager and she looks better back then in comparison how she looks now, and this young look of Ms. Joan Chen the only thing this movie is worth watching for.
