10/10

Depiction of several typical problems of contemporary China

The first one is the the so-called Constructive Destruction in which buildings of historical value were razed for development. This is a criticism of the ignorance of the regime

The second targets corruption of the regime, in which ordinary people have no means of voice their opinion unless they have the Connection, either with the officials or somebody famous.

The Hollywood type happy ending of this film actually masks its subtle social criticism.
