This movie is from the so called "5th Generation" of Chinese filmmakers. It demonstrates how the old way of life failed CuiQuo, but the communist, or new way, has also failed her. When CuiQuo drowns, she does so right after she sings the word "communist." This is to signify to viewers how Communism failed her family. There is also a significant use of rivers in the movie. The ending has a river of people, which drowns her brother, and the actual river, which drowns her. The use of a uniform is also used in the film, where we can see the solider beginning to lose pieces of his uniform as he becomes more accustomed to the family.
