    "Middle Ages" in China
    When people cease to be people and become code names (whether they are "rightists", "infidels" or so-called "inferior races" are essentially the same), hell will follow. And those in power are better than ever at oppressing the weak. The Jiabiangou at that moment is exactly the same as Shanghai at this moment. China desperately needs such films to help us truly remember history.
