A must see !

Comments about PBS Independent Lens: Please Vote For Me DVD:

As a Chinese, I couldn't believe how much the children's life have changed in China, specially in schools. When I was that age, we were like tractable wooden dolls, afraid of parents, afraid of teachers, afraid of giving our own voices.
The time has changed, for better or worse, this film truly documents the modern life in today's Chinese cities. It is so true that even the kids play little corruption games through out their class elections, which they have learned from the grow-ups. Obviously, the true democracy still has long way to go in China.
