Utilizando a montagem de forma precisa para estabelecer o ritmo da vida de seus personagens, Yimou narra uma hist�ria bem-humorada e reveladora sobre a China contempor�nea, sendo auxiliando por Gong Li em um de seus melhores desempenhos.

It was a really good movie. I enjoyed learning about the culture and seeing the determination of Qui Ju. She would not give up no matter what. It was inspiring.
