Not One Less
Zhang Yimou
The film is about a 13-year-old girl, called Wei Min zhi, who takes care of the village school when the teacher, Mr Gao, is away for a month. She has to make sure that all the students stay in the school. When one of them runs away to the big city, she follows him and brings him back.
The film has a happy ending. Min zhi finds Huike and brin gs him back to the school, together with the people from the TV station.
I think the story gives us hope. The film shows us that people care for each other. Even people in the city will take care of people in the village when they know about their problems.
I like this film because it is so moving. I think the ending of the film is happy, but you almost have to cry.
