Lorry S @Lorz100 10/13/2024 I thought it was fascinating to see how other people in foreign countries live and work. I was born and raised in NY. So this story was very far from home (upper middle class). It makes you realize how lucky we are in The United States and appreciate our work and laws. A story for all ages. A must see. See more 04/01/2022 Very immersive, you feel the lives of the family as if they're your own. See more 02/15/2020 Slow, uninspired, cheap. The cameraman doesn't know what he's doing, and the whole thing feels very artificial (especially the comments on the foreigners) and relies on cultural shock to get good reviews from white people. This is coming from a Chinese person, btw. Boring, incoherent, and shitty film. See more 04/02/2016 This movie is about choices, no matter how many times the parents say they didn't have a choice. These people have it so backwards. they leave where it is beautiful and live where it is ugly. the mom and dad showed nothing but shame and critical judgement towards their kids. the daughter longs for what she has no idea she needs, something her parents never gave her, while they ironically did what they thought was best by abandoning her and sending nothing but money and guilty messages. the rural country is so beautiful, yet this whole situation is so sad. such a brainwashed and overpopulated world they live in. See more 07/08/2015 A rare glimpse into the lives of a group of people long exploited and mistreated. The sad thing it seems to still be their highest standard of living ever. Their family dynamic is interesting and sad. The doc is even more revealing in what the subjects aren't saying, it's all just below the surface, just like many families. The modernization of China may be rapidly expanding in its major cities, but still seems to have not spread at all to the country villages/small towns. It reminds me a little of reading about the beginnings of the original Industrial Revolution and the changes it brought to everyone. See more 04/12/2015 A masterful closer look into the consequences of China booming economy. See more Read all reviews
