Young woman starts a job teaching in a village. Although there are social realist elements, in fact, these are rich character portraits of people here. Good scenery and acting overall. It calls attention to the education problem in China; many families have to pay for books and lessons. <br /> <br />For another horrifying take on the problems facing children and education, see the film Blind Shaft. (detailing a young factory employed to work at the mine factory so he can pay for his school books). <br /> <br />Country Teachers is more innocent and family-oriented. Rating: 5 / 5 I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Young woman starts a job teaching in a village.
