This short film was inspired by the story told in the prose written by Jia Pingwa to memorialize his father in 1989. Set on the North Shannxi Loess Plateau, the story tells about two boys trying to sell a pig, the only valuable property of the poor family, for food. However, things go wrong. The film was artistically designed to present the spectacular and broad scenery of the Loess Plateau as well as the simple life of the people. This is a black humor about the difficult years in the northwest of China in 1970s. (Source: Youtube, edited)

Rate 5 (average) seen via English subbed Story Mild entertainment value. Good for a few laughs but that it. A good plot would have multiple turns. Here it is only one and you can see it coming. Therefore lacks in suspense. One good element they used was the took into count the pig's narrative on how it impacts him. Art No question art was good on the eyes. Could have been because i watched it via high definition. Art had two different formats that blended well with the story and comical aspect. Second format was cartoonist in-regards to the pig's p.o.v. Character Each main character regardless if they were human or nothad there story told. Sum-up Life's work can be hard at times. Pressing forwards when life does not work out in your favor is vital. If you are struggling i suggest watch this to remind you of the fact other harder aspects in life occur and they can still get by with a smile on their face.
