Features: The Chinese film industry has been absurdly considered a serious profession since its inception. And Chinese film directors have become a group of "pragmatists" qualified to stand unscathed while refuting external criticism. Following this logic, a tearful sigh, a pile of bad prints, and even the most unattractive daughter-in-law, due to her "innocence," will eventually become a mother-in-law. They sincerely offer us countless pieces of garbage, themselves, but ultimately cannot escape with empty hands.
