I like to recommend to you a wonderful video I rented from Rogers yesterday :



This movie focuses  on the  plight and hardship of a migrant worker family in China. It is also dedicated to the 140 million migrant workers in China.

It is in my opinion very well  made , because it is convincingly realistic , emotions , hopes ,wishes etc differ in no way from people anywhere else.

Something I have noticed myself here in Richmond , is the strong emphasis of Chinese parents to provide the best possible  education for their children. This movie focuses several times on this education-theme  -  something I can very well associate with.

 The movie touches towards the end  a little bit on the inner conflicts of a young ,growing up girl on the cusp of womanhood, the rebellion of an adolescent - something parents all over the world have to cope with - however , I think ,  ultra hard working Chinese  parents face in this , and many other regards, an extra steep hill.

Again, I urge anybody to rent The Last Train Home.

Enjoy!
