Directed by Chen Kaige, this film is adapted from the novel of Ah Cheng. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), there is a shabby school in a remote mountain area that is short of teachers. An educated youth, “Old Cha”, though young but has been living and working there for seven years, is chosen to be the “King of the Children”, that is a teacher. With no books, he will copy the books; without textbook, his dictionary is the holy Bible. The children are prone to read critical articles, but they are not literate. Then the king of the children teaches them how to spell the words and write a composition. In the end, the king of the children is dismissed from the teaching position, ending up again as the “Old Cha”.
