Since the establishment of the bamboo weaving cooperative, the appearance of Zhulin Village has changed significantly. Visitors seeking to learn, inspectors, interviewers, and tourists placing orders have been coming in an endless stream. They eat all day and all month long, leading to frequent quarrels, fights, and cases of alcohol poisoning, causing the smart and capable cafeteria manager, Xiao Wangfa, to be driven to tears and indescribable suffering. Once, when Vice Secretary Guo of the Provincial Committee came to the village for an inspection, the lunch prepared for him was eaten by the leaders from the county. Xiao Wangfa had no choice but to serve simple home-cooked meals like mung bean porridge, steamed buns, and peanuts, anxiously preparing for punishment. Unexpectedly, Vice Secretary Guo was very pleased with the meal, and the villagers of Zhulin saw hope from this incident.

Reviews
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
