The Song of the Angels
January. 20,2018
Yang Xiaoji, a girl of the Dong ethnic minority, lives with her younger siblings and paraplegic grandmother in Wuji Village, deep in the mountains. Xiaoji's parents work in Shenzhen. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the township is holding a Dong song contest, in which Xiaoji won the first place in the primary school song contest. The whole family hoped that their parents would come back soon for a reunion, but time and time again, they were disappointed. In order to let the children whose parents are not back have a happy New Year's Eve, Teacher Xu and the village chief organised a lively New Year's Eve dinner for the whole village.

Perfectly adorable
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
