You are guaranteed to enjoy this film. Highly visual, this rather wonderful film by a very young man will keep you smiling.

I’m sorry we have two national anthems, but we can only hear the one about building a great wall with our flesh and blood. It is always on TV, and you have to listen to it all the time even if you don’t want to.
In this city, singing is far more popular than music.
We can never escape it, nor can we fight it.
We can only reach out our hand from below ground, and put a white chrysanthemum on our grave.
