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! 

one can dig up this emotive material in all cultures even in China Heizy..Richmond is indeed a microcosm of China. Its good and bad points. Unfortunately the zeal to which this movie points is all about  China's insatiable desire for global power and dominace and what it takes to get there. Its very uncomfortable to have it dressed up in this curtsy fashion even though is focusing in on a family. Sorry not interested. I see insanity on a large scale and its indeed very disturbing. Thanks anyway. Forcing ones children in this manic way is a problem in  itself.
