Very good film about Chinese mothers, 10 March 2004
Author: zzmale

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Mom.

This movie is a combination of cultural introspection in response to the resurgence of traditional culture, as well as an eulogy that Chinese mothers well deserved.

In the rapid Chinese economic expansion in the last two decades, there is a resurgence of traditional Chinese culture, but very unfortunately, such resurgence does not distinguish between the virtue and the dross and as a result, the not-so-favorite parts also comes back to haunt the society, such as the discrimination against women in the traditional Confucian teaching. This movie eulogizes the sacrifice the Chinese mothers have made, their joy and sorrow, and serves as a reminder to the Chinese public of gender equality.
