Brave pioneer in exploring something rare in China

Well, actually, the existence of mental patients are not rare in China, and in fact, the numbers are rapidly increasing in the rapid Chinese economic boom, due to the high pressure of the highly competitive capitalistic world and the lack of social services in China.

What is truly rare in China is that this topic is something neither the public nor the government would like to mention.  For the government, economic development is the top priority and social services is ignored, and for the general public, traditional culture prohibits most from facing such problem.

This movie is a brave pioneer in exposing the problem that is often avoided in China and points out the urgent need to establish the appropriate social services in China.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
