About KING OF THE CHILDREN

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 short of teachers. An educated youth, Old Cha", though young but has been living and working here for seven years, is chosen to be the "Urchin Cop", 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 Urchin Cop teaches them how to spell the words and write a composition. Finally, Urchin Cop violates the educational contents and is dismissed, ending up again as the "Old Cha"."This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
