Not One Less (VCD) (China Version) VCD

Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou directs Not One Less, a compelling portrait of China's rural education system and the inspiring struggle of one lone teacher. When the elderly teacher in a small rural village has to resign his position, the mayor appoints a thirteen year-old girl (Wei Min Zhi) to temporarily take his place. But her inexperience and stubborn refusal to compromise get the better of her, leading one student to leave the class and visit the big city in hopes of finding work. The loss of the one student is a large blow to the girl...she made a pact with the previous teacher that if she lost one student she would not receive a bonus! Determined to find and bring him back, she turns to the only people who can truly help her: the students in her class! Zhang Yimou uses a cast of unknown, untrained actors to bring his refreshing and starkly realistic story to life, and finds numerous opportunities to display the determination and heart present in the human condition. A winner at the 1999 Venice Film Festival, Not One Less comes alive with tears, laughter, and fascinating humanity.

　　水泉小學的高老師在回家看望病重的母親，村長從鄰村找到魏敏芝給高老師代一個月課。高老師臨走時再三叮囑魏敏芝，一定要把學生看住，一個都不能少。

　　魏敏芝整天讓學生抄課文，每天清點人數，誰要把學生弄走，就跟誰急，邊村長的話也不聽。十歲的張慧科因家欠債無力償還，不得不失學到城裡打工。魏敏芝記住高老師臨行前的叮囑，決心把慧科找回來。她打聽到張慧科在城裡的住處，單身一人踏上了進城之路，十三歲的魏敏芝開始了茫茫人海裡的尋找……

　　In the crushing poverty of rural China, a young woman is ordered to a remote village to be their substitute teacher. Barely older than her students, the shy girl is charged with keeping the class intact for one month or she won't be paid. Faced with overwhelming family debt, her biggest little troublemaker disappears into the city to find work. The stubborn teacher, however, is determined to follow the boy and bring him back to school. Once in the city, her simple peasant pleas fall on deaf ears, and only when the local television station sympathizes does her search bear fruit.

　　"A warmth and sweetness that is especially hard to resist..." -Kenneth Turan, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
