English Luckily, Yimou Zhang is such a good director that, despite the somewhat lame topic concerning a poor old worker befriending a blind orphan, he manages not to make it emotional blackmail. He even managed to suppress his desire to impose a form on the movie itself. Here the buzzwords are optimism and hope. With a sad aroma. And so we have a picture with humor that slowly turns into a melodrama. Simply low-key, comely and above-average. ()
