Description

This movie is a pre-revolutionary era cultural introspection work that was way too ahead of its time, and consequently, performed poorly in the box office. The movie challenged the tow thousand years long traditional rigid Confucian teachings about husbands and wives by introducing the idea of gender equality in a very subtle way.
