This is a real story. The whole cast of this movie are real and ordinary people. They play themselves in the movie.
Yimou Zhang went to the poverty-stricken area parts China to tell a story about a 13 year old peasant girl Mizhi Wei's be the only teacher of the only primary school in that area. She tries so hard to keep her all students studying at school.
This movie is Zhang's daring experiment to use "normal reality" to tell reality, and he has achieved convincingly his goal. All characters in this movie are real as in reality. So all their emotion is real, and they tell their life to audience. it’s very easy to be touching.
Unlike many other Yimou Zhang's movies which are persistently followed with complaint by Chinese audience for "being tailored and catering to foreign taste and curiosity", "Not One Less" is very well received in China
I think this movie is very interesting. China has been closed for sometimes and that makes people curious what it likes. Again, Zhang Yimou nailed it!
