"It captures many elements of life inChinatoday missed by all the magazine cover stories and astounding growth statistics. These classrooms are state-of-the-art and the children’s homes look remarkably like middle class urban homes in the West. The film provides a private view of a microcosm of contemporary Chinese culture."Patricia Finneran, Silverdocs Documentary Festival
