Finally watched this film, 活着（1994）. I think the movie is far better than the book don't you? I mean just look at Gong Li here. And Zhang Yimou ended it where he did, instead of going on and on. There is always a point where enough is enough, and that's where you stop.

This movie was a key part of my early fascination with China. I blame Zhang Yimou for deciding the course of my adult life!
