    Serious topic that was far too advanced for its time

    and consequently, resulted in poor performance at the box office.

    The literal translation of the title of this movie is: leper girl.

    The topic of discrimination against patient was not too advanced for Chinese society back then, it was also at the wrong time: China was already at war for two years, and there was something else need to worry about, such as survival.
