To live or not to live 1

To Live is by far one of the best Chinese movies I have seen in a while. It is about the struggle to survive of our protagonist, Fugui. Fugui was a rich landlord and right before the communist party took over, he lost it all. He has to deal with the problems of a mute daughter, a rebellious son, and tons of other tom fooleries . To me, Fugui is almost like a Chinese Forrest Gump because he is constantly going from one odd situation to another and it kinda adds a comical edge to this depressing time in China. Definitely worth watching.
