Wow there was more to this movie than just the family drama itself, i am glad i got to see this movie, it was a full pack for me, so there's like a ton of lesson to be learnt here and there was a lot of inspiring traits and personally I'd recommend this movie to anyone who's having a second thought on actually seeing this movie, like i said it really literally got me there.

Didn't expect much, but was surprised by the naturalness of the acting & dialogue as well as the subtle (and not so subtle) commentary on social, political behavior.

Filmed in part in Hong Kong before Beijing started limiting individual freedoms even further I liked the subtle jab where are lead (Sasha) takes a selfie to send & gets a no-service message (a jab at China's limiting of individual access to independent tech social services).

Neither the U. S. nor China came out looking that good. The U. S. for it's pursuit of materialism & China for it's denial of basic human freedoms.

Sasha Li (Anna Akana) is a Chinese-American with a degree in design from Fordham. She lives off of her father who manufactures toys in Shenzen. When the money dries up, she is forced to return to China and learn the family business, a nice clean sweatshop. Dad trades in wives, like most guys, trade-in cars and she has several half-siblings. Things go up and down while she is there.

This is almost a comedy and almost heart-warming, never really hitting on all cylinders, typical of a Chinese made product. They still don't quite understand American audiences.
