    Another early pioneers of personal liberalization

    The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Women's Building.

    For non-Chinese audience, there is the need of some explanation in order to really appreciate this movie:

    In China, nurses are strictly the profession of women, and even today, there are extremely few male nurses. The building where these nurses worked also has the significant symbolism: the building symbolize the old traditional Confucian teachings which limits the children's choice of selecting their spouse by putting that task in the hand of their parents.

    The nurses' longing of personal happiness by choosing the one they really love, not the one approved by their parents are the great symbol of breaking free of the dross in the traditional culture, symbolized by the building they worked in.
