A "fake" comedy for the Chinese.

The film is run through by nonsensical bands and folk bands. The artistic pictures and natural framing become more and more profound with the plot, and also interpret the heroine's radical battle. The seemingly abrupt and ingeniously integrated comedy technique gradually becomes deeper with the development of the story, and the increasingly emotional color blurs the boundaries of comedy. When the twin sisters dress up to visit the prison, sacrifice their freedom for her sister's dream of becoming a mother. Burlesque bands and folk bands are playing again, and soul and film have been sublimated by love and dedication. At the end of the screen, I shed tears while listening to folk songs, not only because of the movie, but also because of the examination of myself and the nation. The pain of industrial development, the impact of the one-child system on the nation, and the morbid consequences of the natural environment suddenly appeared.
