Auntie Duohe

Sun Li is my favourite actress so I am always going to oversell whatever she appears in. A Chinese family take into their house a Japanese girl who initially is hated by some members of the family but over the years becomes an important and integral part of it. Her life and that of her adopted family is hard and tragic and there is very little let up of the tearful scenes that constantly occur. But through all the hardships the inherent goodness of Auntie Duohe never waivers and she endures whatever befalls her. Sometimes the action seems contrived but it is well acted by all the main players. I would recommend it but have tissues at the ready.
