I watched this movie after reading the review of Life is good and it really deserves a recognition.

It is a beautiful story about growing up, about how teenagers have to deal with family problems, friendship, anger and frustration. All this is told in a beautiful way, because the movie shows in perfect harmony the carelessness of school years, teenage love, violence in family, self-destruction and sweet friendship.
This film among the other Chinese movie I like the most. It has a wonderful visual side, shots and filming are excellent. The director portrayed the complicated emotional life of a girl and a boy. The story is captivating. And there is almost no communist propaganda.
I highly recommend! And you have to watch it to the very end!
