This is not a comedy but a movie about a young girl who found her way by sheer determination & luck.
Great Chinese movie that touches your heart and makes you realize that we are in it together while we are spinning around on this gran rock of ours.

This movie is subtitled---decent job, just so you know. Good story watching a young person evolve from a materialistic approach to a compassionate human being. Its ironic that this story filmed in the year 2000 China is now close to representing 2012 USA. Worth the rent.
looks good, but....

Worth Seeing

If you are looking for martial arts and beautifully choreographed scenes, this is not your movie. However, if you are looking for a good story with a much more realistic view of modern China, this is a movie worth watching. The story is about a 13 year old girl who becomes a substitute teacher at a rural Chinese school and takes the departing words of the actual teacher to heart.
