British-based Chinese director Guo Xiaolu divides the film into 12 “chapters,” separated by gritty black-and-white footage of laughing young children, the new generation, reading jokes to the camera. The assorted stories are far from happy. Mostly they are tales of the newly rich and the opportunistic, who operate far from the few portrayed who are still attached to the naïve collective idealism of the Maoist past. Taken as a whole, the film is an insightful essay on the contradictions of the new China.
