Chinese social condition----the big gap between rich and poor


  • Why I talk about this and tend to make plots about this in Chinese low-budget comedy films?
           The reason is that this is an important social issue to China, in other words, it can illustrate       recently the social condition of China and the existence state of Chinese ordinary people. It  not only can close to Chinese people, but also can reflect Chinese social problem from films. 
  • At present, China has become one of the world's largest disparity between the rich and the poor.
  • Thus, as for low social status people in China, they are difficult to climb the social ladder.(because that their education, house register or family background.......)
  • This situation not only affect their living condition and also affect their mental condition. Most of these people have a sense of inferiority.  So they like call themselves "loser"

There are many low-budget comedy film to show "loser"'s life. Like the film< getting home>, a man take his dead body of colleague go to his hometown. The man have not money, so most time he has to carry the dead body on the way. 
<Getting Home>, 2007


Another comedy film can be seen, <Lucky Dog>, the hero is a worker, he has retired. His wife sick but he does not have money to pay the medical fee. His daughter married with an officials, but her husband is not nice to her, even he does not respect the hero, because that they are low-social status people. The hero always said he is a lucky god although he is not in his life.

                                                               <Lucky Dog>, 2009

The satiric character can be seen from events of their life, meanwhile, they show that unimportant people's funny behavior.  These points help low-budget comedy film to make funnier.
