Outcry of the Chinese untouchables, 23 April 2004
Author: zzmale

Jing Zhe, is one of the twenty four seasons in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar and it is used as the title of this movie. Non-Chinese audience need to hear some explanation of the division of the lunar calendar in China:

Since for most part of the Chinese history, China is a agricultural society and as a result, the lunar calendar was divided into much smaller sections than the traditional four seasons to better suited for farming seasons, and there are a total of twenty-four such small seasons.

The title is symbolic in that currently, the 'season' for Chinese peasantry is not good and they become the Chinese equivalent of the untouchables.
