Movie Haiku:BioPic stars Wei Tang as Chinese writer Xiao Hong. Focusing on the turbulent 1930s, when left-wing intellectuals lived in the heightened exhilaration of internal upheaval & Japanese invasion, Xiao Hong somehow keeps publishing despite pregnancies & romantic complications. Suggestion for non-Chinese audiences: Read about Xiao Hong on Wikipedia before you go! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
