    A Chinese student's perspective

    I'm a student from China, and I saw this fin on ISFVF. It's a heartbroken story, director used a lot of objects to show personal feelings hidden under the ashes of history. But in the end, people in U. S. considered racial problems as a matter of history and color of skin. But as a Chinese student, I think there's something more important got ignored, that is class matters.

    By the way I'm eager to know the rap song in the end.
