Thumb down for this political propaganda due to censorship

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Roses Given to me.

Although the story is a fake, similar events happens frequently in real lives in China, but what could be an excellent piece of social criticism resulted in political propaganda craps because of the governmental censorship: The wife's lover had to be a foreigner instead of local Chinese due to nationalistic zeal.
