The Little Chinese Seamstress (2002) is set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution in the 1970s. The narrative revolves around Luo (Chen Kun) and Ma (Liu Ye), two urban youths who are dispatched to a remote mountain village for re-education in Maoist ideology. Under the watchful eye of the village leader (Wang Shuangbao), who views their violin as a symbol of bourgeois decadence, the two friends toil alongside the villagers. Both Luo and Ma develop feelings for the village's seamstress (Ziiou Xun), the tailor's daughter (Chung Zhijun). They share with her forbidden Western literary works, including the writings of French authors Balzac and Dumas. The film culminates with the two men reflecting on their transformative experiences three decades later.
