Baby (Bai Bei Er’) is a world class film … a gem

My personal favorite film featuring Sina-Asian Global Superstar Yang Mi. An encapsulating narrative and masterfully evocative film, in a quest for a quest for Social Justice and key administrative reformations under the “One Child Policy” and Foster Care on a marginalized sector of children born with deformities and disabilities. The film wonderfully assert in narrative, a very moving story involving realistic characters dealing with which may be an actual on case- specific flawed bureaucratic policies of a country, which may just be enveloped in a long entrenched and autocratic welfare and benefits system for this marginalized sector. The film and portrayals blissfully present the humanity in foster care adoption and the advocacy of civic consciousness on this marginalized sector. Naturally and innately gifted Thespian Yang Mi known for playing larger than life characters on screen and in tele-drama series took a major great leap in taking on the role of a Jiang Meng, an on the surface Plain Jane yet with an inner plateau of immense personal resiliency and emotional strength Jiang Meng, aptly deserves a much hearty applause for this remarkable portrayal in kudos and laurels. As this modern day independent film is a cinematic gem truly deserving of much positive critical acclaim as well as a much deserved socio-civic political validation in accolade, with credit and distinction also an applause, as well from the “bees” (fans, supporters and avid followers of Yang Mi and in general the viewers.
